Festival of Lights

We were celebrating the holidays this week by getting out and looking at the lights throughout the neighborhoods.

Drew was dressed for the occasion...

And then we went to one of our favorite houses.  They didn't do it last year, but this year they were back at it with the light show paired with music.  It runs for 20 minutes and then resets.  Here is a video clip of the show - and I have to say the video doesn't do it justice.

That is Dave and Drew going up to the collection box.  Every year the home owners raise money for a different charity - this year is St. Jude's.  100% of the money collected goes to the charity - the homeowners pay for the electrical bill themselves.

Then we ventured out to another favorite neighborhood where some 200 homes are decorated for the season.

This garage has a different theme every year.... this time Santa's Lodge :)  Can you "spy" where Drew is at Santa's lodge?

Then Drew had to carol with Bugs and Taz

Dad wanted in on the action too....

It was a great night and we managed to tucker Drew out nicely.  He was asleep before we made the 1.5 mile drive home.
