Christmas Lights...

So, do any of you guys go "Clark Griswold" on the house for Christmas? If so, post up some pics to spread the Christmas cheer!

Hey Clark, oops I mean Pat! You didn't punch santa in the nose trying to get him lit did you? Looks good, the trucks with their lights on are great!

I usually put out some lights, but I get this year off since we're in an apartment for the time being.

We don't have any lights on our house.....my girlfriend had a basketball game in Minden last night and I rode down there with her dad and grandma........they drove me by the town square.......now that's Clark W. Grizwold right there!!!! It was pretty cool, but a little overdone. Oh well.

No lights here because we were without electricity until today due to the ice storm. Hey Jake, did your gf's team beat the Whippets? That's my old stompin grounds back when I was knee high to a grasshopper.

Hey Del, glad to see you got the lights back on! I was kind of following your situation in the KS chapter. Hopefully, you guys don't get too much more snow tomorrow.

The weather forcasters are predicting 5-6 inches of snow tonight or tomorrow. We still haven't gotten rid of all the ice on the trees etc. I do have power back on in the house though. Just seeing lights in a window is neat after being without power.

We adopted Nicole at the beginning of last month. She is 10 months old now. She has lived with us since about 2 weeks after she was born. Her bio mother was my wifes 16yo cousin.

That's cool Chris. Good to see she's with someone that can give her a good home. Besides, I have a three year old daughter myself, and there's nothing better than when she calls me "Daddy"!!
