Michigan Snow Trip Recap


Last week I was in Michigan visiting my boyfriend and his family. We had the best time! This California girl was freeeeezing, but made do with warm accessories :) His family took me on their adventure to cut down their Christmas tree, which was a first for me! We always just go to a lot and pick it out (they're already cut down in California I guess), so it was very fun to see this whole process. There were even some gorgeous horses giving rides around the tree farm, which if I wasn't so cold, we totally would have done.  

One of the days I was there, we went to the holiday symphony down town with Ashley and her husband. The music was gorgeous and I always love a good excuse to dress up! Here are a few pictures from our trip...

This picture makes it look like I cut down the tree with the saw in my hand, but don't be fooled...he did all the work!

My favorite picture of us :)



Sledding with his nephew:

It was a blizzard, so we threw on coats and hats and went outside for a picture...naturally. He's quickly learning about my obsession with my camera and pictures. Such a good boyfriend.  



So thankful for a best friend (Ashley) who introduced me to a wonderful (and really handsome) man. God is good and I feel beyond blessed! The snow was the cherry-on-top of the perfect week. 

Do you live somewhere it snows? And do you get to cut down your tree? Do share! Only 2 days until Christmas. I can hardly believe it!

  1. You two are so cute together... And he really is handsome ;). We get snow here but I have to admit I've never cut down my own tree. We do artificial or at the most go to a tree stand and pick one out :). It does look like fun though!

  12. Great pictures Michaela! :) Looks like a wonderful trip! We get far less snow out here now, but when I was growing up there was always plenty of snow in the Toronto area and my Dad took us to the same tree farm every year to cut down our own tree! We loved it. He still goes to the same tree farm and I wish we could be there to go with him! Have a Merry Christmas pretty lady! xoxo
