Picking Out Our Christmas Tree!

Today (to celebrate Daryl's 32nd birthday! ;), we headed out to Wahmhoff Farms to find our Christmas tree!  We haven't had any snow (except for a dusting or two) yet this year.  The day was in the 30s and windy so it was still pretty cold.  Aliyah was not impressed that she had to wear mittens . . . this is a hard age for mittens - both for trying to get them on the right way and for convincing them to keep them on after you finally get their thumb in the right spot!!

 Hope is really excited to be out in cold weather.  Today was no different.  She gets cold quickly and then doesn't want to move.  We keep trying to explain to her that if she would move and run around with the other kids, she'd warm up!

 I love my little girl so much!!

 Dad, Mom, and Savannah found their Christmas tree!!

 Watching Grandpa cut down the tree.

 Our Christmas tree!  We picked out a couple but ended up going back to the one that we stuck Samuel's hat on top of.  Samuel is the total opposite of Hope - he is always hot and is always asking if he can take his coat, hat, and/or mittens off!

 Carrying them back to the building to be shaken and bundled up!

Me and my girls :)

And the best part?  At least according to my kids?  The free popcorn that is available at the building where you pay for your tree!  It was a good morning and the tree looks beautiful in our sunroom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARYL!!
