Chopping the tree

Moving onto... winter! I'm excited. Thankfully we had an awesome autumn, and it lasted all the way through November. But when December hits, I'm ready for snow, winter, and holiday cheer! We ended up chopping our tree down right before the snowy winter wonderland hit. It was nice for the convenience of chopping down a tree, and hauling it around, but it's always so pretty when it's snowy outside. Every year, we drive out to Hart Christmas Tree Farm. It's our tradition now, so I can't imagine going anywhere else. They have so many different types of trees to choose from, and you can either get one pre-chopped, or head into the fields to chop your own! We always chop our own, of course. It's way more fun that way!

I didn't realize I wore this exact same scarf last year to the tree farm... must be an ideal tree chopping scarf! I think by the time December hits, I'm just excited to pull out more reds and plaids and put away my burnt orange and cranberry-colored items. I recently did a switch on my closet, and pulled out some cozy sweaters and put away all of my very-autumnal looking items. Always a little sad to see them go, but I just love dressing for the specific seasons so much! So it makes it that much more special when I can pull out the autumn items again next year. So now I'm focusing more on wintry colors... ivory, navy blue, hunter green, red, cognac, black, gray.

Are you guys all ready for Christmas? I can't believe we're only one week away! We took our annual trip to Frankenmuth last weekend, so I'll be sure to post on that this week. My goal is to wrap up any holiday content this week... and then move onto some winter stuff after Christmas! Plus, we went to a few restaurants recently I can't wait to chat about, and I also need to work on my fitness posts! So much to do... so little time! My goal is to take a little time off next weekend to relax though. Eric and I have been snapping photos every weekend all month trying to get caught up on blog collaborations and content, and I was so overwhelmed for the longest time. Excited to be wrapping some things up, and taking time to unplug and relax! I hope you are too!
