Finally, FINALLY we had good weather for a day at the pumpkin patch this year. It was a bit windy but we headed out and bumped along the path to park our car in the cornfield and head over to the patch. This was our second year at our new favourite pumpkin patch and we couldn’t…
It was only when I was searching for photos for a friend of Christmas tree plantations that I realised that despite managing to edit them on time, I failed entirely in my attempt to post last year’s Christmas Tree farm photos from our favourite Hampshire Christmas Tree Farm. We’ve visited three Christmas tree farms since…
In truth these aren’t my Christmas Day breakfast photos. We had to have a redo with exactly the same styling as thanks to my clumsiness, I have grainy JPEG photos from my lovely new camera instead of these brighter RAW numbers. Note to self: check your settings twice next time. Anyhow, as the mister pointed…
Hallowe’en is the holiday I decorate for the most. Our home is currently filled with floating Witch hats, chains and skeleton animals of more varieties than I can count. Me? I love pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins…need I remind you that I even got married in a pumpkin? Haha. Anyhow, being able to celebrate the season with…
A tradition that we began when Jensen Indiana turned one was the purchase of a huge number balloon every year for the boys’ birthdays. Proudly on display at the past two parties, they have alerted everyone to their age, and given me a superbly easy way of identifying and distinguishing their birthdays from year to…
It’s no secret that I didn’t want Jensen to have his hair cut. I’ve resisted it for over three years now and to be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that he and Baby Dragon are in a mini catwalk show for Start Rite tomorrow, he’d still be sporting his baby locks for months…
Bless him! Such beautiful photos too.
How lovely! What a great memory to keep.
Aw so sweet. I love that they have a tree in their room too. Lovely
What a lovely thing to be able to do. I fear any Christmas trees felled round here would be from someone's garden!
Aww bless him! Such a sweet boy and amazing pictures 🙂
Aww – gorgeous – clearly a proud smile in that last photo.
As an aside, I really love the look of your blog. The header is really lovely.
That's an adorable family tradition.
Ah, that's lovely, and an unexpected chance to give your old tradition a new twist! Merry Christmas x
Oh I adore this, the images are just so perfect and what a memory to have
OH wow, this is amazing, but lovely images x
I have to say you have taken some lovely photos here, I'm always envious of blogs with great photos.
How wonderful! Such a proud moment for all of you.
What a wonderful family moment this is!
What a fabulous tradition……can imagine a collage of all the photos in years to come
Lovely photo's and what a brilliant family tradition to have.
So cute! I love these sweet pictures!
Aww, how cute! I love the photos you got! They came out great! My favorite is the one with your little one carry the Christmas tree on their back!! Love it!
This is such a heartwarming post! I love the pics. I am growing a Christmas tree to use in a couple of years too!
I am LOVING all your pictures. We have a place right up the street (literally) that sells trees, so we usually just pick one out and walk it home. I would love to chop one down someday.
That's a great tradition to have! I love the pictures and I am sure he was very excited to get his very own tree. It's a shame that a disease has destroyed all the rest of the trees!
What a beautiful family you have! Living in the city my whole life this is something I never got to experience, like EVER. I can't wait for our move so my daughter can have memories like this. You took such beautiful photos too, a shame you couldn't score a big family tree, but it's nice your boys will have their own tree this year! Lucky!
Aww. Look at him with his freshly cut tree. What a cute little man!
This brought a tear to my eye. What a wonderful right of passage. That is the most adorable little tree, too!
What a cute little tree. This tradition is so awesome!
Adorable, he'll always remember that.
What beautiful pictures you have taken!! This is a wonderful rite of passage.
This is such a cute post! I have always wanted to chop down our own tree, so maybe I'll make it a new tradition!
How cute is your little guy! Such a charming story. Your photos are gorgeous by the way!
What great memories you made together. I love all the pictures. I have always wanted to cut down my own tree.
So adorable! I'm sure he enjoyed his rite of passage!
I can see why you and dad were proud. 🙂 He's sure a cutie pie (it had to be said). 🙂
Awwww these pictures are adorable! This is such a cute post and I love how he is carrying the tree on his own.
This is so lovely! Jensen is so handsome and your pictures are beautiful!
What a wonderful memory to have. Way to go Jensen!
This is such a great post. You little ones are so cute. He looks so proud to be carrying his first tree.
He's so cute. That would be a wonderful memory for him.
What a beautiful capture. The kids is so cute and adorable.
Those photos are beautiful! I also love this memory, such a look of pride on his face!
Aww what a beautiful post. He looks so proud about doing that. =)
Omg this might be the cutest post ever!!!!! I love the pic of your little carrying the tree!!!
This is a splendid way to create memories. Thanks for showing your beautiful pictures!
Haha adorable – what a cute way to have a memory in Christmas – I never thought of this one;.
