Josh & Danielle Files | The Search for the Menning Family Christmas Tree | Personal Post

Hey! So we photographed our last wedding of 2014 Saturday. The year went so quickly. Sometimes when we think back on it, it definitely feels like we photographed 41 weddings & other times it’s all a blur & we are just thankful that we survived. 😉 We do want to thank all of our 2014 couples for being amazing, fun to work with, and for treating us so well! We love this business because of YOU & we’re thankful for you! I can’t wait to show this photo to Mini Menning & tell him/her about the 30 or so weddings for which he/she came along for the ride. We don’t have any more weddings until after his/her arrival.Â So after Christmas fun with family & friends, we’ll be in full-out baby prep mode, which we’ve been admittedly putting off until after wedding season for us. Focusing on our business & our clients was top priority!
Another fun event of the weekend was choosing the Menning Family Christmas Tree. We went out into the wilderness (lol) of a nearby family-owned tree farm to search “the frosty majesty of the winter landscape for that most important of Christmas symbols” to quote Clark Griswold. Although the landscape wasn’t very frosty & the temp was around 40 degrees, we still felt in the Christmas spirit walking around the tree farm with my parents.Aren’t my mom and dad cuties?This is the “I’m holding a saw” face.Baby’s first Christmas tree farm experience:Now that we have our tree up, it’s probably time to decorate it. 🙂 Only nine days until Christmas! We truly hope you & yours have a wonderful one!
