Happy dance...

we found lights.  Lots of them.  We started in a neighborhood that we knew had some lights.  Then turning a few corners this was and that and bam.... we found a street loaded with houses and all accept one lit up.  So we parked in front of the one dark house and strolled the street.  I loved the Christmas mouse that was almost as big as the 2 story house.  The variety and creativity were awesome.  While we were gazing bus loads full were driving slowly down the street to admire the neighborhood handy work.  Another favorite was the reindeer on the teeter-totter with Santa.  There were several manger scenes in a several different styles.  Judy laugh when she saw the Santa up in a nook cut our of the front wall.  She realized that the weird design of the house was to accommodate a place to displace the Santa with sack.  After strolling up and down the street we felt chilled enough to go home and drink hot chocolate.  I wonderful evening just enjoying the Christmas lights.  We had fun!  :)
