Each year, my parents have a tradition that we always do in preparation for the holidays!
For almost 40 years, my mom and dad have been driving up to Apple Hill to the same place to pick out and cut down a fresh Christmas Tree. It's called Indian Rock Tree Farm! I've blogged about it for 4 years now... 2010 2009 2008
It's so fun to see how we all change and grow through the years. This year, it was the first year we were all married (Jul & Matt were married in July) and we all picked out our own trees together.
brotherly love 
J, Kel, Ryan... and Baby O!
Me and TL
Gramz, Pops, and Ry
TL and my mama
My sisters and I
We ended the hunt with a big lunch together. It was perfect weather!
Can't wait to get my tree up on Wednesday... can you believe the holidays are here?!

What a great tradition! :) It looks like y'all had a great time
That is such a great tradition! And it looks so fun to pick it out! I'm allergic to real Christmas tree's so I'm not sure if when Brian and I get married we will have a real or fake one. Real ones are always so much prettier!!

Hi Tracey,
I haven't had a real tree in years, but I love the thought of going out and cutting your own. Looks like you all had a great time. I love your 'boys' they are too cute (the dogs I mean) ;-)
I'll be starting to decorate this week while we're off school but will leave the main tree til Friday which is our tradition - and actually my daughter's birthday that day too!
What a fun tradition! I can't wait to see pictures of your house all decorated :)
What a great tradition!! Looks like such a great time!!
Such an adorable little fam you have!! Can we talk about how much you and your sisters look alike??!!
adorable family photo!!! you all are too cute!!! :)
OMG, Ryan is so big now! Looks like an awesome time. :) Yay for family traditions. :)
While my hubby and I are fake tree people, I think this is such a great tradition. I'm sure it is hard to get your entire family together, so what a special excuse! You guys have something to look forward to each year. Love it!
Such a wonderful family tradition! I feel like a seasoned reader (or just OLD!) as I remember your past posts on this trip :-)
This is seriously the cutest and best holiday tradition ever!! I love the pups in the family picture too!
So cute! Love the whole family pic and TL lol!
That last picture is great, Tracy!!! I love it! I also love the picture of your pups! I want to snuggle them!
A beautiful picture of the whole family!
Those are great pictures and a great tradition!
I really love that last picture, it looks like your pup in the yellow collar is snarling at your brother in law!
What a great tradition Tracy and I love all the shots ~ even the pups went along ~ looks like a perfect day. xo
Love that the pups went.
Gorgeous Pictures. What sweet pups! Love family adventures :)
