The Great Tree Hunt 2016

^A bit blurry but she was so cute with that umbrella I couldn’t resist posting it anyway (A lot of these pics are, it was pouring rain!)

^She was so upset that I was on the other side of that tiny puddle, she didn’t want to cross on her own 🙁

^Thumbs up for her first time going potty behind a tree! Ha!

^”Hmm, which tree should we get?”

^Completely determined to load up our tree and haul it herself!

^Hiding from Mama

This year we decided to check out a tree farm we’ve never been to and it was so rainy and COLD. We were soaking wet and completely covered in mud!! I didn’t realize how cold it was going to be and how long it would take to get there, so by the time we arrived it was already getting dark and we were definitely not bundled nearly enough! Stormy and Everly were very serious about picking out the right tree, whenever we would ask “this one?”, one of them would always say no not THAT one! We were taking so long that it got too dark and we had to hike back and pick out one that was already cut because we couldn’t see them anymore (I know, totally lame), but we were just thankful to finally get one and get outta there so we could warm up! We got the kids their very first hot chocolate on the way home to celebrate, surprisingly Stormy didn’t like it but now Ev’s is hooked! I’m not sure how someone doesn’t like liquid chocolate, but Justin and I were happy to take over drinking it 😉 We woke up the next day to a gorgeous sunny day, ha! But we had so much fun and made memories that will last our lifetime, and that is definitely worth being a little cold and wet for a few hours. <3
