These pictures are from our trip to the mountains with our dear friends The Nesselroades. They have had the tradition of going to the mountains each year and cutting down their own Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving....so this year we were invited! I think we are hooked! It was so awesome! One of the best vacations ever. We had fun and relaxed!!
Eli, Mommy, and Daddy on the back deck of the cabin.
Chris and Eric being lazy. Eric has Toby cuddled up in his lap! 
So sweet! Sam and Kaley reading to Eli. Eli became fast fiends with the girls and thought Toby was the coolest. The girls spoiled him rotten and he loved it...so did I!
This was Eric and I's view from laying in bed! The mountain view was amazing!
This was at the tree farm. Eric and Chris ready to find the perfect trees!
We drove to several smaller tree farms...but ended up at Boyd Family Christmas Tree Farm! It was AMAZING! There were adorable little cabins around and beautiful trees too.
Eli and Tonya playing! :o)
The Perfect Tree! After searching we found it!!! 
Our first cutting of the tree! Eli wanted to help Daddy saw so bad!!
Timber! Yay! 
Eli got a few scraches since we were on the side of a mountain it was difficult for him to walk and not fall. He started getting a little frustrated, but was a good sport!
The girls put on a great Christmas Carol show!! 
Chris and Sam went on an adventure hiking around the mountain one morning and came back and told us all to get clothing on and off we went. They had found this rope swing that we all took a try at! It was so much fun!
Looks like a postcard! Beautiful!
We can't wait until next year!
Here's the tree all lit up and decorated! Was a bit bigger in the living room than on the side of the mountain, but we loved it!
