tree hugger

Dennis and Gran, Gigi, Daddy, and I had a wonderful time choosing our Christmas tree at the tree farm yesterday. Dennis picked a robust 7 footer, and he helped David cut it down and rode with it up to the barn where they shook it and wrapped it for us. We all availed ourselves of some free hot cocoa and enjoyed the company and the view. And then we brought it home and had just enough time to get it in the stand before David headed to work. Tonight we decorated it before we went to get dinner. When we returned, Dennis was so happy to see it that he ran in and announced "I love our Christmas tree so much that I'm going to hug it!". Recognizing an impending Kodak...er, Canon...moment, I grabbed the camera and caught him embracing the tree. I continued to snap as he held up mistletoe over his head and kissed the tree. Silly kid! I enjoy his sense of fun.
