Thanksgiving weekend it got cold enough to warrant our first fire inside and we thought it would be fun to make s'mores with the boys. Zeke thought the chimney was open and started the fire. After maybe 5 minutes, something seemed strange because of how much smoke there was and only a few moments later the smoke alarms started going off. Still not sure what was wrong,more smoke alarms around the house went off. Our house is wired for an alarm system (even though we don't have it activated) and somehow the smoke set that off too! By now, the boys were freaking out because the alarms were SO loud and Zeke was frantically going around the house taking the smoke detectors off because of the noise. At one point my phone rang and I thought it was a neighbor wanting to know what was going on, but it was actually my brother Mark. He got to hear the commotion for a few moments, but then I had to go help Zeke so I didn't talk to him for too long. Finally, Zeke noticed how to push the lid up so the smoke would go out through the chimney and within a few moments all was normal again. Once the noise was gone, Zeke and I had a good laugh about it and for the next week our house "smelled like camping" according to Lucas. The s'mores were so delicious and we've done it a couple of times since then too.
We also put up all of our Christmas decorations earlier that day, but somehow I failed to take pictures of the fun. Below you can see our Christmas tree and our stockings actually hung over the fireplace! The boys had their own Christmas tree down in the basement too (I have a picture of that one on Christmas Day...)
