Christmas Tree Hunting

As tradition goes we went out first thing (or as first thing as you can get with 3 kids) to hunt down and cut our Christmas tree. We went to our usual tree place and picked up some breakfast on our way. The girls were excited about getting a tree, taking a hay ride, and having hot cocoa! It was SO COLD out that we bundled them up the best we could and we were still cold! The girls had tights on under their pants and we put their snow pants on even though there was no snow! I felt kinda silly with them walking around in their snow pants, but oh well!

Brody must have been excited about the big day because he woke up super early and ended up falling asleep in the car on the way there.

All bundled up and ready to go!

Looking for the perfect one

Racing to see who can find it first

Look at those eyes!!

Our tree!

This one she told him to stand up and turn his hat around! My little photographer!

Trying to get a picture of them all (Poor Brody was bundled up under blankets in the wagon, he didn't move the whole time we were out there... I don't think he could!)

There's your answer, Julie! Whenever Brody gets into one of those ACTIVE moods, wrap him up like a burrito! ;)
