Jim's measuring out different lengths of strung beads to ultimately drape haphazardly on the branches of our Christmas tree.

(...an idea stolen from a display tree in a department store.)

The end result of our efforts spent decorating our tree together was never photographed. (Can you believe it?)

Take our word for it, it was really cool. So cool, that we've preserved the image in our memory for years to come and haven't dared decorate another Christmas tree together since then!
