The Happiest Season of All - Beijos + Minnetonka • Beijos Events

The holidays are all about traditions, and we are excited to share this one that we treasure with you today! We were all lucky enough to be in Northern California at the same time earlier this month and got to spend some time together… This post is about one of the many family traditions we enjoy for Christmas and why it’s important to us! While having this fun experience we were able to wear Minnetonka’s amazing collection and shoot their holiday lookbook, which is now live on their website here!

Here’s a little background on why we decided to choose this for our holiday photo shoot….

Growing up in Northern California my family would go and cut down our Christmas Tree every year. We would drive up a long windy road to get into the Santa Cruz mountains to start our search for the perfect tree! Once I had a family I couldn’t wait to start this tradition myself. Living in Southern California now, we don’t have as easy of access to the same experience, so needless to say I was thrilled to travel back home to set the tone for my son Court. It was fun to have all the Beijos families in tow to enjoy this classic Christmas tradition!

The Guidos

The Carrigers

And the Kazas Family

Nothing beats the scenery of the Redwoods, just the fresh smell of the tree farm will have you ready for some hot cider!

How great is this backpack by Fawn and Cub?! It was the perfect carry on for our trek through the woods, and it doubles as a diaper bag! Us mama’s have lots of love for cute diaper bags ;)

And our amazing mugs and that sweet blanket are all from one our favorite shops in Santa Cruz, Stripe! We all wanted to take that blanket home…

We weren’t the only ones who had fun… The kids were ready for an adventure when we pulled up to the farm! We brought along my black lab Dolly who was ready for fun too and began trekking around the farm in search for the best tree we could find. We brought blankets for a picnic with graham crackers, hot cocoa and marshmallows, and possibly some spiked cider for the adults! It was the coziest day with lots of love and laughter and new traditions.
