Spring Tradition #2

Our annual Christmas tree burning started four years ago.  We "save" our Christmas tree and then pick a weekend in Spring to take it to a near-by state campground to burn.  We then roast hot dogs and marshmallows over our tree.  Little did we know four years ago that this would start a fun annual tradition for us, but it did! 

The Boys - Anxiously awaiting the fire ...

Lydia pretty much slept through her first tree burning ...

Our spring traditions hold a special place in our hearts as they are traditions that we experienced and memories that we made while Owen was full of life. Granted, he was in utero, but he was with us as we made stepping stones two years ago ... as we burned our tree two years ago ... and more ... coming soon ...

We always burn our tree too but without ceremony. I hadn't thought of it but we might have to start that same fun-filled tradition.

Lydia's face looks fuller here. So sweet! :)

Glad for traditions helping us to always remember.

Love you!

I Love your traditions. You are so creative!

That's something we don't have in our family "traditions" maybe it would be great idea to come up with a few to bring us closer together :)
