Today we headed out to get our Christmas tree!! Our plan was to go to the same place we went to last year, just because they were cheap! Nobody thought of calling to see if they were open this year so we got out there . . . and no trees. So we decided to head out to Wahmhoff Farms in Gobles. We were squishing our Christmas tree hunt in between a early morning 5K that I ran and Christmas shopping in the afternoon (with my parents watching the kids). We didn't have much time but we didn't really have any other options! So out to Gobles we went . . . without a diaper bag which turned out to be a big mistake. Shortly after we got out there I realized that Aliyah had a dirty diaper. Poor girl! Not much I could do about it and she didn't seem to mind so we still tried our best to enjoy the Christmas tree hunt. And we did enjoy it!! We found a beautiful tree and the kids had fun running around. It was pretty windy, but as you can see from the pictures below, not a flake of snow. By the time we left to head home, Aliyah was wet through as well as poopy. Never ever leave the house without a diaper bag. Ever!

My sweet little (poopy) Aliyah. She's such a good sport!
Hope did a much better job tree hunting this year. Last year she pretty much refused to walk around in her boots and was ticked that she had to wear mittens and a hat. I dare say that my little Haitian is getting used to Michigan winters!
In front of our tree. It's a great one!
Love this picture. Love my family!
Watching Daddy cut down the tree. They were pretty fascinated!
Mom and Dad (and Samuel) in front of their tree. Samuel wanted to be in the picture too!
Grandpa's turn to cut down a tree!
Walking back to the vans with our trees. It was a little bit of a hike but the kids did a great job. It helped that we bribed them with the free popcorn that was back at the gift shop!
