burning the tree

Every year we burn our Christmas tree in the backyard. It was fairly chilly this day (Lucy has pants AND a sweater on, you can only imagine me (scarf!)) The fire felt really good.

Henry got the tree all chopped up and the fire started.

They're looking up because they're wondering if the tree above will catch on fire.
It didn't.

Henry practicing his firebending.

I know, we have lots of wildfires in these parts, but remember it had just rained 10", so we were pretty safe.

It has been perfectly lovely ever since this day, warm and sunny. Even I have been wearing shorts!
