O Tannenbaum

My family is so lucky to live less than 10 minutes away from real wilderness. This year, we were able to cut down our own Christmas tree--a first for both Mr. P and me.

We brought an electric cross-saw and a big handsaw... sorry tradition (and mom), the electric won out!

The snow was a sort of icy creme brûlée--crunchy on the top and powdery smooth underneath.

Momma and our sweet little tree. It's about 6 feet tall.

Timber!
