in true whitacre fashion we set out to find the perfect christmas tree the saturday after thanksgiving.
it was a beautiful day..a little too beautiful for my taste. this momma needs some snow when hunting for a christmas tree! however, it was kind of nice not to have to bundle the littles.

the girls were off as soon as we got there
as was levi.
and he even found a couple trees that tickled his fancy.
as did abbie
soon the littles got bored with mommy who was saying no to all the trees they were picking out
so they started to play hide and seek
and just when momma was getting bored and ready to settle for a small little dinky tree i caught a glimpse of the whitacre 2011 christmas tree.
sadly it was not this tree. this tree was our tree's stunt double since our tree was actually a precut tree that was leaning up against a big maple tree. i tried to get daddy to lay down and pretend he was cutting down our precut tree but he wasn't having it. poor sport.
and since i am not used to buying a precut tree i was quickly thrown into a tizzy and forgot to get a family picture at the tree farm. apparently it doesn't take much to throw me off.
i did remember to get some pictures of the littles enjoying their cocoa though.
and don't you think for a second that i could close this post without pointing out the fact that abbie had the SAME boots on that the girls had worn three years in a row!! yes that's right...4 years of wear out of these boots! the best part you ask? i bought these emu boots for $10 four years ago!
year 1
year 2
year 3
year 4 (and this vest the same one Sophie was wearing in years 1 and 2!) it's all about the hand-me-downs!

Cute pics...and you know Kenzie is going to be wearing her emu boots you passed down to her for at least another year...which will bring the boots "life" to at least 6 years...(maybe more knowing how freakishly small Kennie's feet are!) hehe
Love it! You always have the best pics:) Can't wait to have a girl so I can get in on some hand-me-downs!
