it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Friday night, we carefully selected our Christmas tree.

Then, she came home to us.

Pierce named her Francesca.

Last night, just as It's a Wonderful Life (my favorite movie of all time...ALL.TIME.) was coming on television, we pulled out our decorations and transformed Francesca from the bare-naked lady into the fantabulous beauty you see below.

We are some pretty proud parents.
