We love to drive around on Sunday evenings and look at Christmas lights. Matt and I both did the same thing with our families as kids. I'm sure it's a pretty common December activity - any why not? You get to drive around all warm in the car, ooh and aah at the lights, and chit-chat with your spouse for an hour while the kids are securely buckled, or at least confined to one space.
This year, Matt wanted to contribute to the festivities, so he decorated our front yard. And he really went the extra mile! Here is a picture of his beautiful work:
The big tree really is as tall as our house! Matt leaned a 30' ladder right against the tree and then hung on for dear life. Actually, he's pretty handy with a ladder, being a roofer and all. He ended up stringing about 20 strands of lights up, which required 5 extension cords, which all had to be burried under the snow as to not obstruct the kids' snow-machine path. It was a big job and Matt is a hard worker. Thanks Matt! You've really made it feel like Christmas!
