Lady Grand's arrival

Lady Grand has taken center stage in our home, and even though I could pull my hair out over the chaos and furniture rearranging she's caused, she deserves the attention.  She's such a delicate, wispy, lacy, little thing.  I didn't dress her up in a theme, or tuck berries in her to fatten her up, like I did to Ms. Noble last year; because she's just soo pretty, all on her own. Proof: last night Rhett caught a mother and child standing on the street underneath her, looking up, pointing, and talking about her prettiness. :) Since her arrival Sunday, as soon as we get home, we open the blinds, turn on her lights, and let her glow.  I love her. And I thank Tristen and Rhett, who wanted another Noble, for giving me veto power to have a Grand Tree this year.  ;)   

I'm currently brainstorming how to decorate the small piece of Lady Grand that we'll keep forever.. Last year we began the tradition of saving a sliver of each tree, and creating an ornament, so that in the years to come, we'll have a remembrance of each tree.  Being as pinterest wasn't an active part of my life for Ms. Noble's Ornament last year, here's to hoping Lady Grands' will be a little bit better.
