Chopping Down Our Tree

Every year since Natalie was a baby we've gone with our friends The Nemeceks to chop down our Christmas Tree. We usually go to a place up in Rhinebeck, NY called Battenfelds. But last year our friends could not make it and we found this new place much closer and we actually liked it much better. And, Five Guys is on the way there so it's really a no brainer when you think about it. ;)

We had a fabulous time that day and I love that we are creating fun family memories. Ones that I hope the kiddos will remember forever. :)

Our Family Photo. :)

How cool that you get to chop down your own tree? That's something we can't do in Florida. :( But we do have Five Guys. :) Great photos!!!

And another on a floor of records... And this is a shot of the family in front of La Carretta cuban restaurant in Little Havana. I rooster smoking a cigar. Gotta love it. :) This turned into a where in the world is the little girl in the pink tank top post but it was fun to relive those summer vacation memories again. I hope you have a Pinkalicious Saturday!

Craftiness & a Holiday Headstart

These are on their way to some friends for whom I am very grateful to have in my life. :) I got this as a gift from Sweet Mellie who was my Secret Santa last year but didn't have enough time to make it so I made it today. Isn't it CUTE!? I plan on filling the draws with little treats for the kiddos to enjoy each day leading up to and including Christmas Day. Should be FUN. I noticed that I put holly berries in the middle of my flowers instead of regular old brads but it's too late now. Them suckers are glue dotted on. :O I think I got my Christmas card photo!!!!!! What do you think?

Color of the Week - Orange

This year our annual pumpkin picking trip took us to Barton Orchards up in Pauquag. It's a bit of a drive but they make picking an event. Hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, farmer's market and even apples...tons of apples. We picked a couple of pumkins and a bag of apples. It was a gorgeous day. But I think the best part for the kiddos was this slide they built into a mountain. It was underground and pretty long. I was able to get some cool shots of them coming out of it. Neat, huh? A sea of pumpkins. How's that for an orange photo? Dylan and his pick. :) Natty and her pick. :)
