Trimming the tree
Maryn had lots of fun getting into the boxes of "kid-friendly" ornaments!! She even got to hang her very first ornament...

Santa's cutest reindeer!Where are you christmas tree???
Since Jeremy and I have been married, we have always purchased a live tree for Christmas. We stroll over to the hardware store down the way and pick out just the right one...a classic story for many I'm sure. Well this year we decided to start something new and went on a search for Christmas tree farms. After a brief Google search, we choose just the right one...Piney Acres Christmas Tree Farm in Fortville, IN.
We bundled Maryn up, grabbed the Christmas music, and headed out of the big city. Thirty minutes later we pulled up to a farm full of an evergreen aroma! It was a gorgeous sunny day, but don't let the sun fool you- it was not warm! We climbed up into the wagon and took the bumpy ride out to the rows of trees. Since we were looking for a 8 foot tree, we got dropped off way in the back and wondered if they would remember to come back and pick us up. Wondering the rows of trees we stumbled across the perfect one! Jeremy was quick to start sawing away, but took a brief break to grab some pictures before the tree came tumbling down on top of him. After a bumpy ride back back to the barn with our tree,we were treated to hot chocolate and popcorn.
While this may not be an experience Maryn remembers, it was a special time to be together as a family. And hopefully it is the start of many family Christmas trees searches to come!!
All bundled up for the wagon ride

An Extra Thankful Thanksgiving
It was a great first Thanksgiving for the three of us. We enjoyed a day with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins...and plenty to eat! As we reflect back on this day about what we are thankful for there are truly many things that God has blessed us with over this past year. However we are most thankful for the beautiful daughter that God has given to us. We very often have people in public tell us how cute Maryn is and of course we gush with pride. Not only is she cuttiest little girl in the world, she is also packed full of personality and life. It has been such a wonderful experience to see how she has grown. We are truly grateful to God for blessing us with Maryn, for all he has provided for us and for all he has taught us over the past year! We are thankful.
