We bought our tree last night – when I was young we would always go up to Mt. Taylor just north of Grants, NM and cut our own. There were times when there was lots of snow on the ground and we took our snowmobiles to find a tree. Lots of great childhood memories! Now, our kids get to run through the rows of trees at the tree lots and pick out just the right one. We are going to get it decorated tomorrow!

Okay all – we are officially done with the lights and decorating – just need to get 2 more songs set to music – that will take about 12 hours for me to get it right! I am going to film it tonite and post it here!

I just received my “little box” that makes the world light up We will be on tonite! WooHoo!

Okay, I am so sorry but there is a delay in getting my lights on. There is a little converter box that takes the USB signal and converts it to RJ-485 and I can’t find it! We have turned our house upside down and it is no where to be found.

I borrow one from a friend to have the lights on for Thanksgiving but had to return it the next day!

I am having it shipped but it won’t be here until Thursday sometime.

Please bear with us but the wait will be worth it!

Take a look – we had about 50 people out watching our official light up of the Christmas display Thanksgiving night! the display you see in the background is the neighbors – they did a great job too! Stay tuned to see what our neighbors and us have in common!!!

Here are our lights on Thanksgiving nite -the official light up night! They are all set to “twinkle” right now but I am going to start sequencing them today!

Here is what we have so far! A few more things are needed but almost there!

Here is what the beginning of the organization looks like! Work has begun!

Our next door neighbors are getting into the decorating spirit! We are usually the early ones on the block and the rest follow close behind!

Okay, we had a planning session last night and all is a go! A larger mega tree with a surprise, some additional stars, and we are going across the street this year! Stay tuned for video tomorrow of our progress!
