Christmas Lights: A Drive And A Little Inspiration...


Night #1 of this year's Tradition

......................................................

Last night we decided that every Sunday night of this Christmas Season, we will take the kids for a drive to look at Christmas lights.

(Something that we're actually able to plan for under the circumstances this year.)

So we headed to a favorite local neighborhood to start the tradition off right.

The kids loved it!

I did too!

And, as always, this neighborhood didn't disappoint.

Here are some of our favorites:





It probably goes without saying, but these next two houses got the most

ooh's
and ahhh's

from the kids...




We took a spin through our neighborhood before heading home to tuck the kids into bed and loved what was done on this house...


We spent the day after Thanksgiving putting up our outdoor lights.

Well, actually....

Will spent the day after Thanksgiving putting up our outdoor lights while I went through box after box after box of Christmas decor inside the house, but...

after seeing all of the lighted houses last night, we can home, tweaked ours just a bit, and we now have it exactly how we want it.

I just need to get the front porch decorated and then I'll show you what we've done.


So how about you?

Spot any good Christmas light inspiration of your own this year?





P.S. I am posting this as inspiration over at the DIY Show Off's Holiday Highlight's Party
