Putting up the Christmas Tree

,
There are few things that make me happier than hearing Hazen's enthusiasm about life in general. Putting up the Christmas tree this past year was no exception. He would gasp and go on and on about how beautiful it was, and for the entire month, I would catch him looking at it and sighing happily while saying, "Thank you Mommy for putting up my Christmas tree. It's SO beautiful!" Are you kidding me? With responses like that, I'll do just about anything for the child! He has also started to take some interest in the camera, so he wanted Jason and I to pose while hugging the tree. Odd, but sure, I'll do anything for that little stinker.
