Hunt for the Christmas Tree...

We decided that since it was too rainy/snowy yesterday that we would get our Christmas tree this afternoon, after Alexander's nap.

Well Alexander woke up a bit cranky & refused to do anything except watch Mickey Mouse Choo-Choo Express...we had to coax him outside & into the car. Thankfully once we got him in the car, he was fine. However by the time we got him ready & in the car, it was 10 mins to 5pm.

As we're driving to the place we've been going to the last three years, we realized they probably close at 5pm. Sure enough, we pull up and it looks like they're about to close. Pete was nice enough to let us pick out a tree.

I felt so rushed! They showed us one, I didn't like it. They showed another, Dan didn't like it. Finally we found a couple and thought they could do so we picked one & basically are hoping for the best!

After we got our wreaths and the tree was tied to the car, I realized we didn't take any pictures. So I took Alexander over to take a couple pics (at least one with him standing by trees)...and just as Dan goes to take a picture of Alexander & Mommy - Pete shuts the lights off!

Oh well...and here's the one picture we got *just* as the lights were going off - hence my lovely expression!
