Christmas Tree Hunting at Hahn Farm, Salt Point, NY
I am in heaven. Thanksgiving came and went, and that in itself was an awesome time for our little family unit. But what I love the most right after Thanksgiving is going to a Christmas tree farm, searching for that one special tree, cutting it down, and bringing it home.

Pumpkin Picking in Dix Hills, NY
This past weekend my family and I decided to go pumpkin picking. I had a list of places I wanted to try but it was Sunday, and some places in NJ that are closer to the city are closed on Sundays, other places seemed too far.

Christmas Tree Hunting in Long Island, NY
One of the things NYCity Mama discovered while living in Wisconsin was the joy of visiting Christmas Tree farms and picking out her favorite tree and then having her oldest son and husband cut it down and carry it away.
