it's beginning to look (and feel) a lot like christmas

it's 1:29 am and the moment is sweet.  everyone's asleep (including the dog, who happens to be laying on my side of the bed) and i'm sitting in the living room alone, gazing at our purdy tree amongst all the city lights, smelling the lovely pine scent emanating off of it and listening to christmas songs on our little bose system.  i loooove the holidays!

don't let jasmyn's looks fool you.  she is thrilled to be modeling in front of the tree.

after 3-1/2 days of chaos, our tree finally made it home!  on friday afternoon, i headed to ala moana to make sure my tree was still there (given all my flocked up tree luck) and ready to make the short trek to its new home.  i found my favorite salesperson and he prepped the tree for delivery by wrapping it up in plastic, making a fresh cut on the trunk and changing the tree stand to the one i provided.  the tree was then delivered to our condo and i haven't stopped looking or smelling it since!  i just adore flocked noble firs :)  they are the prettiest trees ever and only require a nice string of warm lights to look divine.  if i had my way, a noble fir would be a permanent design fixture in our home all year long!
