Who else is completely in love with the smell of fresh pine from a REAL Christmas tree?! I know I am!
We have our very first Christmas tree adorning our adorable first apartment and I don’t think I could be any more in love with it! We picked a little baby tree that was fitting of our marriage, new and just starting to grow, with each year I hope that God will continue to bless us and our tree will get fuller and bigger with the years to come!
I’m a complete sap when it comes to things like this and I was over the moon excited to pick out our very first tree together and then to decorate it together. Just another one of those things I had always daydreamed about — the very act of starting our own traditions together, especially as it came to the holidays.
I blogged about going to the Panoramic Christmas Tree Farm two years ago and had absolutely loved my experience there. The views are incredible and there is a large variety of trees that you can get! Joe and I picked out a little 5 foot tree and now our car smells entirely like Christmas! I’ve got a little hot chocolate station parked in our apartment to take advantage of at all times and you will very likely find me blasting Christmas music for the entirety of December.
What a blessing this life is! Every day I am grateful for my husband, my family, the ability to have a job that I love and to be able to blog and to pursue the things that I love. I’m lucky to have a family that has loved me and supported me and so excited for the family Joe and I are and will be!
Did you get a real Christmas tree this year? What traditions do you have with your family for the Holidays?

How exciting! I've actually never had a real Christmas tree. It wouldn't do too well in FL!

I still need to get a tree! And my family used to go to a tree farm when we were kids – it made picking a tree so much fun!

Love your lil baby tree! I have a fake tree, since I'm not qualified to water a live one or sweep up the fallen needles. We used to have real trees when I was growing up though and it was always so fun to go cut them down and hang out at the tree farm!
