December ushers in my absolute favorite time of year. And lately, it’s become apparent that Peanut is equally enthusiastic for Christmas. So, this weekend we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and do something we hadn’t in years – cut down our own tree (I say that loosely. A saw-wielding teenager actually did the dirty work).
It was an utterly perfect day. And although a mere 50 miles outside of New York City, we felt eons away. I hope this will become somewhat of a yearly tradition, a memory Peanut can hold on to as she grows.
It’s the stuff that holidays are made of.

Looks like you guys had such a fabulous time! And you totally manage to look stylish at a tree farm. I wish I could say the same for myself.
So glad you found a tree farm nearby!! Looks like it was wonderful-love the family shot of the 3 of you:)
Great photos! Watching your offspring run through the trees is such a treat.

Looks like so much fun. When I was a kid we always cut down our own trees and I’ve been begging my husband to take us to a real farm (and not home depot) for our tree! Great family photos…you guys are beautiful! I especially love the one of peanut and baby ba looking at all the trees!
What a perfect holiday activity
What a fun day out and a great tradition to start, real Christmas trees smell so wonderful. Sadly it is just too hot here and the needles have fallen before Christmas is even close.
How cool – you went to an actual tree farm/lot. Such a beautiful tradition!
That’s awesome! These photos are gorg.
