Our annual Christmas tree-burning bonfire is the perfect way to kick off the year. It’s exhilarating and beautiful, not to mention it’s fabulous spending a January evening on the beach. Originally we weren’t going to burn a bunch of trees, just our buddy Doug. George woke up the morning of the bonfire, however, and immediately said, “I’m texting Jeff. We’re getting a truck. We need trees.”

The boys went on a little adventure, and by the time Jennie and I met them at the beach, they had 36 trees. Yep. 36. And a wooden plank. And a large branch. Here are some photos from the magical night we burned them all.

Superman flew by throughout the night!
Meanwhile, here’s proof that George is far too comfortable standing next to a GIANT fire.
I love these people so much.Can’t wait for next year…George and Jeff have already decided they need a bigger truck, because 36 trees aren’t enough!
