annual tree burning.

My mom's fiance, Tom, organizes a Christmas tree burning bonfire every year. He collects a bunch (70 this year, I think?) of trees from friends, family and curb sides. He stores them in his backyard and lets them dry out until April.

Then, he rents a big truck, loads them up and heads to the beach.

We look forward to this event every year. It's a night filled with bbq, smores, fun and good company.

Thanks Tom, Mom & Ryan (Tom's son - who I know helped out a lot too!)
