after a fun filled weekend visiting my family, patrick and i returned to our beloved brooklyn to relax, eat pizza, and put up our christmas tree! every year we head over the knights of columbus, located on 86th street between 13th and 14th ave, to pick our perfect tree. this year we decided to go with an 8 foot fraser fir. it is absolutely gorgeous and smells so wonderful, and even though it was a bit expensive, we love having a real tree up in our apartment. it makes us feel grown up...or childlike? i can't decide.
i would love to post pictures to show you how beautiful our tree is this year, but my camera is on the fritz right now. after a good six years my sony digital camera has given up. sadly, we have to wait to buy a camera because we just purchased a new flat screen tv from p.c. richard and son (the best place to buy electronics here in the city). so if anyone has any suggestions of what type of camera we should look into getting, i would love to hear your thoughts!
the rest of this week is full of holiday treats! not the kind you eat. my mom, step-dad kirk, mimom, patrick and i are going to see the christmas spectacular at radio city followed by a delicious dinner at blue hill at stone barn. their food is fabulous and the head chef, dan barber won the james beard award for best chef this year. i will let you know what i ate and drank so that you too can check it out! then, this weekend we are having some friends over for a christmas party. it is the first party patrick and i have ever had at our apartment since we have lived here...i know that it is crazy we haven't done this sooner, but we are excited to have our friends come and kick off the holiday season.
well it is time for me to head into work.
this is beth signing off.
mission: jingling all the way till christmas accomplished!
