Christmas Light Extravaganza 2007

There is so much happiness right now in my life, but one thing that really bums me out is that our good friends Dawn and Jere (they live right across the street) are moving to Cleveland in March. Jere got a huge promotion with MOEN, so they have to relocate. We will miss living across the street from them so much! I guess we will go to Cleveland to check things out next year...
On Sunday night, we embarked on our annual Christmas Light drive. Bob and Jeff joined us this year, and of course Carson made his inaugural trip. This house is one of 2 homes that make our 2007 list of the BEST. What makes this house so special, you say? It isn't necessarily the decorations that you see in this picture--it is the unique presentation that lands this house on our list. We heard that if you tune in the radio to 103.9 FM when you drive up to this house in Vista Ridge that music plays in sync with the blinking lights. When we first drove up, the house was pitch black and we thought it was a bust. Then--BAM! Lights went on everywhere and Mannheim Steamroller was blaring in the car in complete unision. It was very cool, however I am glad we don't live close by because those lights were blinking so fast that I thought I might have a seizure. :)
Here is our annual favorite home in Broomfield, and this year is no disappointment!
On the driveway...
In the windows...
Father Christmas looks a little scary if you ask me...
The front door entry way was really pretty this year, but it was hard to get a picture.
All and all, our Christmas Light Extravaganza was a success, although it seemed that less houses overall chose to put up lights this year. We still want to go to the Zoo lights, but we'll see how Mike's knee is feeling next week!
