This is not my original idea, just another wonderful idea someone out there wrote about on the wonderful internet to inspire us all to have a little fun. I bring you . . . the Christmas Light Awards! We piled the kids (in their PJs) and picnic dinners into the car and headed out looking at Christmas lights. Each kid picked out the house that they thought was decorated the most fabulous and presented that homeowner with a decorated movie size box of candy (dollar store variety). The first home we picked out belonged to an adorable grandpa and grandma who were thrilled and had to send us on our way with some yummy homemade Christmas cookies. The other homes were just as surprised and happy to be singled out. It was one of those things where you don't know who was blessed more - us or them.
After handing out our awards, we went to the drive-thru nativity in New Brighton, which was wonderful. Short but wonderful! I hope we've created another Christmas tradition.
Why post a picture of them all posed when this one shows nicely what life is really like?
And just because they will want to remember. The first photo is Agent E's house, second is Agent H's, the third is The General's.
In case you've wondered who that is driving around with the Christmas lights in their van - well yes - that would be us. That's my husband's little Christmas fun!
