Christmas Lights

For Family Home Evening on Monday the 13th, we decided to go out and look at some Christmas lights.  Since the houses that we had heard about were down by Reid's work, we started by picking Reid up at work.  From there we drove to these houses.  Aren't they beautiful?  There are over 50,000 lights on these two houses and it took them over 100 hours to put them up.

From these houses we went to get dinner at Panera.  The kids enjoyed it a lot, but especially Finn.  He loved saying "bah bah" to the people walking by us and waving his little hand.  He was sure animated and a lot of fun!

Finally, we stopped at a house that had lights choreographed to music.  It was a 20 minute show that went through 3 different songs.  There were over 17,000 lights on the one house.  It was a great show, but admittedly I was disappointed in their music choices.  Kai sure enjoyed it though and didn't want to leave.

Ok, so I tried to post a video here.
It didn't work, so you'll just have to trust me that
the light show was pretty amazing!

It was a good night.  Maybe if we're feeling adventurous again we'll try to go and see even more houses.  There are a couple of others that have some great displays that I've heard about, so we'll see.
