a new tradition

our granny's house is lit up like a gingerbread house every year!

sunday was our first annual Christmas Lighting Celebration!

we'll be having it every year on the sunday after thanksgiving!

you should plan on it for next year!!

we invited the neighbors and a bunch of friends.

we sang carols, ate cookies, drank hot chocolate and cider and counted down to a 'we hope this isn't like the griswald's' christmas house lighting!

and we only tripped the breaker 3 times before we got all the kinks worked out!

Santa arrived and handed out candy canes to all the good little girls and boys that sat on his lap - (or next to him on the bench)!!

it was so much fun!
