Christmas Tree Hunting

This past Sunday, we finally had time to go hunt down the Aldridge Family Christmas tree. It was freezing so we bundled Brody up in his new outfit with matching hat (see pics below).  We arrived at the Flower Mound Christmas Tree place, same location as the dreaded pumpkin patch, and got bundled up to pick out our perfect tree. This is all I could see of Brody, in his stroller, while we were walking around the lot. 



We were horrified to find out that we would have to take out a second mortgage in order to afford one of these trees. (This is even with a 40 percent discount and an additional 10 percent off coupon.) Brody at this time decided he wanted to start crying. We took him into the building where they snow the trees in order to get him to calm down. During this time we snapped the following pictures.

I love this hat! Matt always takes the best picture of the day, yeah Dad!

We both look so puffy!!

After snapping these photos we decided to go with Plan B. Home Depot here we come! There were not very many trees left. The third tree was ours. The trees had already been marked down, BONUS! These trees were way more affordable and fresher. Hopefully next year I will not procrastinate in getting the tree up! Pictures of the finished tree are coming soon...


Mom can we go home now? I am cold and cranky. But I make cold and cranky look CUTE!!
