Last month, we bit the bullet and bought the family a piano for Christmas. Yes, I know we were early, but the program we wanted to buy from (Keys 4/4 Kids, which is AMAZING and I cannot suggest enough) was moving further east and if we didn't purchase it in October, we would have lost out on free delivery.And we found a really cool mid-century modern piano in a design and finish that you don't see every day. So we did it! And it was delivered yesterday, and man are we excited.Jamie and I are hoping to start lessons in January, with Ezra following a few years later. I've always wanted to know how to play the piano, and I hear that learning new musical instruments after age 40 helps to fight off Alzheimer's, so let's get this party started!Today, I'm featuring some cool macro shots of the instrument. We are in the midst of redecorating our living room, and once that is complete, I'll do an overall shot. For now, you'll just have to settle on the gorgeousness of the insides of our newest family member.  For your internet shares of the day:+ If you, or someone you know, is sad this holiday season, this is a must read.+ College friends then and now, a photo essay.+ Airplanes from above. I'm not sure why this delights me so, but it does.+ Oprah came out with her "favorite things" list. Some pretty great gift ideas on there...
