I hope everyone had warm, bright and loving holidays!! 

Our celebration was a fantastic, if crazy, couple of days... but I'm being lazy, and we took so many pictures, that I now present to you....


a decorated tree from one of the houses we walked past on our way to the trail of lights




one of the sets of pretty trees along the trail of lights - it's actually a white tree and a blue tree standing behind the white tree.


i told dar NOT to make a funny face.  I did, really!


one of the three tunnels of lights - this one is synched to the carol of the bells song (my fav christmas song, even though i don't know the words)


all of us crazy monkies!  (from left to right: Daria, Neil, Me, My Mom, Deb, & Erik
