exam week / christmas tree farm / cucumber water / my favorite "christmas" decoration is that bear candle holder, I can't get over how happy it makes me.

I'm not in love with these pictures by any means, but my family and I took a trip to the mountains to buy our Christmas tree like we do every year. The trip seems a little excessive just to get a tree, but I've grown to look forward to it and I can't imagine doing anything different with my own kids one day. I love going to an actual farm where the trees are guaranteed fresh, and I also love seeing the more rural parts of the mountains dotted with dairy cows and old general stores. We had to go a little later in the season than we had hoped because of my exam schedule, but I'm glad I was able to go with my family this year.
