every year for christmas, tony and i love to go and get a real tree at a christmas tree farm. its not cheap (!) but it is really fun and a tradition for our family. we went to the same christmas tree farm as last year, kruegers! (see last year's trip here!) when we first moved back to minneapolis, we went to this christmas tree farm because it was close to where we lived at the time. and now we keep going back! the place has so many memories, and we look forward to going for many years to come. ...

schranks say thanks.
schranks say thanks! this year we hosted our very first thanksgiving and it was a success! it was a little bit stressful getting everything clean and organized, prepping the dishes, figuring out the timing on the day, and just hosting a large group in general, but we learned a lot and will have some improvements for next year. i started planning and prepping about a week out and i definitely recommend that. tony and i made a lot of the items, but all of our guests brought an item or two and it ...

a very merry christmas.
i have three best friends from high school. i see two of them a lot (hi kayla and sara!) because they live in minnesota, but carissa lives in north carolina with her husband and we don’t get to see her that often. she and her husband were in town for the holidays to see carissa’s family so of course we jumped on the opportunity to see her. the only time we could find to all get together was brunch on christmas eve (we went to freehouse, which is pretty must the closest restaurant to our loft, ...

christmas cheer.
christmas is our favorite time of the year. we would normally spend all of december doing our favorite christmas activities. (so many activities!) unfortunately this year due to both a wedding at disney and a funeral, we were out of town for 2 of the 3 weekends between thanksgiving and christmas. so we did what anyone else would do. fit everything christmas into one weekend. right? we... baked christmas cookies, rang bells for the salvation army, went to the christmas display on the 8th floor ...
