What better way to celebrate the first Monday of December than to share our adventure to Piney Acres over the weekend! This time of year has always been a favorite of mine, but experiencing it with Ryan has made it 10 million times better!!! We bundled up toasty tight to meet my family at the Christmas tree farm on Saturday for an afternoon full of hot cocoa, hay rides, and Christmas spirit galore!

An iPhone shot of our tree!!! Chopping him down!

While the boys practiced their lumberjackery, Allie, Ry, and I had a mini photoshoot!


Ta-da!!!!! Love this!!! Haha!

Thank goodness for the hay ride back to the lodge — carting those trees would have been tough!!

Ryan took a nap when we got home, and Chris and I decorated the tree!! When he woke up, we brought him down together to see it — and his face says it all!!! :) LOVE these so much!!!!

It truly is the most WONDERFUL time of the year!!!!

Love love love,

Sami
