The 8th Annual Lighting Ceremony...

Yes, you heard me right. Todd has been known as "Clark Griswald" for 8 plus years. Each year he has been adding more and more lights to his house display. This year took the cake! Drum roll...he has over 30, 150 lights...47 extension cords...31 candy canes lining the driveway...Maple tree's have 3,150 lights...and over 28 decorated pine trees!!!! Yeah, that's right it is AMAZING. It takes him from Halloween until the day before Thanksgiving to finish hanging all the lights.

Here is Mr. Christmas himself with to extra excited girls. Really they had stayed up VERY late. We let them watch Christmas movies and eat treats all night long. These cute cousins couldn't have thanked Toddy for such a Fun filled night.

My mom, my sister Krista, and Mrs. Christmas her self, (baby Isaac).

I know this is silly, but I had to take a picture of the HUGE display of food. Really this is just to preserve a memory for me because we had so much food. It doesn't look appetizing at all because it was at the end of the night. But we made TONS of appetizers. This is our families favorite type of celebration. Any excuse to get us to cook some great food. We had two tables filled with several different appetizers. We needed this much food because we had over 60 people! Yeah, between our two families, extended families and a few great neighbors we cleared lots of food.

I have tried to upload a video I took of when he lights turned on. I'll keep working on it though because its amazing! Stay tuned...
