Everybody who knows Weston, should know that he loves Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. I think he has really watched it at least 2000 times. We have both always dreamed of doing the old fashioned family Christmas and going and cutting down our own Christmas Tree for some time now. Last year was the first year that we made this "dream" a reality. Some of our friends here have been doing it for years and recommended Mill Hollow as a great place to go. We are hooked and I think this will be a Christmas tradition from here forward.
The atmosphere is wonderful. Not only do you get to rub elbows with the good old country folk but you actually get to find and cut down your tree and enjoy all kinds of fun activities there. They have a hay ride, tire rolling, weiner & marshamallow roast over a bon fire, mud trikes for the kids, etc. It is so fun. Below is some footage from this year's adventure. Pictures don't do it justice. The video is a little choppy because I had to edit a lot to keep this video from being too long. We had a bit of a hard time cutting it down this year so I had a fun time teasing Weston about it....and of course the kiddo's are always the center of the show. Enjoy!
Here is the short version...if you don't want to watch the video:
Slightly leaning to the right..."now THAT there is a TREE!!"

I swear we are married to the same person. From the movies, to the christmas tree, to the exact same pair of shoes....We need to live next to each other.
Andrew loved watching this video. I thought Weston's comment was hilarious about your tree riding the short bus. Love you guys!
