We came. We sawed. We conquered.

Well, actually, Trent sawed. I just tried to stay warm and took lots of lousy pictures with my broken camera. Carson just got carried around a lot. We are both pretty happy with our tree, though. As you can see (and as we probably have explained to you if you live near us), it looks as though our tree was actually a small branch left over from another larger tree that was cut for another family in Christmas past. The beauty of it was that it gave our tree about a three foot trunk area with no branches, making it easily accessible for the saw-er. So this is the "before." Stay tuned for the "after."
