Christmas Tree?


Ready to find our tree!

Still looking for our tree...

Hudson has no idea that we are having a bad day.

Mommy and Hudson

Our family

Mimosas, the best way to end a crazy morning!


The day began at 8:30 am when I woke and realized that we needed to leave in 1 hour (I never sleep past 7:00...Hudson is always up by at least 7:30) and everyone was still asleep. We were suppose to be at St. Nick's tree farm for our annual tree cutting with the Banks and Tirouxs at 10:00. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to start my coffee and make the chili that was suppose to be ready when we all came back here for lunch after tree cutting. As soon as I had two cups of coffee in me I jumped in the shower and right then Hudson woke up. I then woke John up to make Hudson's breakfast while I got ready. Somehow we made it out the door and only 10 min. behind schedule. Half way to St. Nicks Shane called to tell us they were out of trees...WHAT! We go on this day every year and they always have tons! So he told us to go past St. Nicks to the U Cut. We misunderstood and took a different turn and ended up WAY out in the middle of nowhere. They called and told us we were at the wrong place right as we parked. Since we drove this far we decided to stay and would just meet everyone back at our house for lunch. After I got off the phone with Mandy with this decision John told me that we were out of gas and he wasn't sure if we could make it back to Monroe...great. We decided that this day is crazy and to make the best of it and go find a tree. At this point Hudson is having the time of his life running around in the trees. checking out the campfire and saying "hi" to everyone there. We soon realize that all of the trees are not quite what we are looking for and they are about 3 times what we usually pay for a tree. We make the decision to go home, have lunch and get a tree tomorrow. On our way back to the car Hudson falls into a BIG pile of mud. So we take his pants off, put him in the car and start to head home. As we are headed home we notice that the place that we were suppose to go was very close to St. Nicks and the Banks and Tirouxs were still there. We pulled in to say hello and discuss the crazy morning. When we got back to our house for lunch Dustin came with stuff for mimosas...thank you Dustin...much needed. After all of this, we still don't have a tree. I think we are going to go out again after Hudson's nap...are we crazy or what?
