Getting Ready for Christmas

We had so much fun picking out Harrison's first Christmas tree!! Despite my pleading, Trey refused to let me live out my childhood memories at the local Christmas tree farm. When I was little, we would bundle up and my dad would drive us to the farm in what felt like 20 degrees below zero weather. From the warm car and sipping hot chocolate, we would point out the perfect Christmas treeand my dad would have to brave the elements and go chop down the tree by himself. Trey crushed my memories by telling me that that is exactly how people end up needing to see him, cuz they tried to cut down the tree and end up cutting themselves :) Oh well!! The tree stand on the side of the road that we ended up at was just as fun :) And fortunately, it was SO cold that night (for Houston), so it felt like a real Chicago/Connecticut winter. And, I did make him get hot chocolate. I can't give up everything!! :)

All bundled up and ready to go...
