The most amazing Christmas light displays!

On Friday I went with Kelly, Dave, Thomas and Noelle to look at Christmas lights.  The past couple of Christmas’ we have been going to a wonderfully decorated house in Manteca.  The amount of lights they have hung is amazing. I definitely would not want to have their PG&E  bill!  On the weekends Santa comes to visit and they give out cookies and hot chocolate.  We had been preparing the kids all evening that they were going to see Santa and they needed to think about what they were going to tell him. 

On the way there we had our own Christmas concert in the car.  Everyone got to play their favorite Christmas song and we sang along.  Kelly and I have a habit of singing very loud in the car and playing the songs over and over and this was no different.  We had a blast.

We arrived at the house and the kids were jumping out of the car to go see Santa.  To much disappointment, Santa had not arrived!  I thought Thomas was going to have a complete meltdown   but have a few minutes he was fine and enjoyed looking at all the lights.

Then we drove to Modesto and saw an amazing light show!  Kelly and Dave work with a lady that she decorated her house with a ton of lights that are in sync with music.  You turn your car radio to a certain station and the lights “dance” with the current song.  It’s an amazing show!!!  If you live nearby you should really go see it.  She was featured on Good Day Sacramento last Friday.  It’s worth the drive.

Of course afterwards we had to go get one of my favorite treats, a Candy Cane blizzard.  We had a fabulous night.  I love this time of year.
