My super-cool friend, Gabby... surrounded by trees way too big for this Who's house.

Gabby's oh so handsome sweetie, Italo found a much more apartment-appropriate sized one.

I was of zero help in all this. Felling a tree is a man's job, yes?

Yes, I felt a bit guilty, but rest assured, the tree gave its life for a worthy cause ~ brightening up my home for a holiday party!

Hooray! Gabby shot some video of the moment of "Timber!" but I've yet to figure out how to get it up here.
