wow - we found the most amazing christmas light display last night. it simply has to be seen to be believed, but i will post a bunch of my pictures to try to do it justice. nearly every house on this street was decorated - and many of them were just over the top - hard to imagine how much work these people must do to pull this off. we met up with my family there - all of the kids just loved it.
this was all from ONE house at the end of the cul-de-sac - unbelievable! a working full size train track and village! and the little scenes that they had - amazing!!
and the SNOW! (some kind of soap, really, but i LOOKED like snow flying in the air.) about 4 or 5 houses had these blowers mounted up over their driveways - it was so cool! you can see the snow detail much better if you click on the pics to enlarge.
a couple of other things that were so cool at other houses:
and truly, i could go on and on. it was just so cool - i took almost 75 pictures! :) i hope you enjoyed them! :) goodnight! :)






















I LOVE looking at houses that decorate like that! One, it is so pretty and festive...
two, I'm always amazed that somebody has that much storage room 11 months of the year!
Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Those are great pictures! And what decked out houses people had. Makes me feel like even more of a loser with my tree with no ornaments ;)
Thanks for sharing them!!!

kerry - i guess the houses that really go all out split the rent on a storage unit. these houses are big, but definitely not big enough to store that much stuff! ;)
