My aunt took us to this old house that had the most Christmas lights and decorations I have ever seen!
It looks really neat from far away
As we walked closer we could see that the whole lawn was filled with rows and rows of glass cases and each case had toys and dolls. I think they were collector's items, but I still kept thinking I can't believe how much junk these people have! I kept thinking that these people are tackier than the Griswolds (from Christmas vacation)!
We were laughing though b/c a big tour bus was pulling away as we pulled up. Apparently this house is quite the popular Christmas site.
Here is an example of one of the glass cases dedicated to Colorado sports teams. This one was not very Christmasy, but we like how Hooters bears and Barbies were included.
Justin liked this picture of the cords to show how much electricity they needed. They actually had train tracks that went the length of their yard and through a dog door into their house and back out another dog door. It went up onto their roof and made a few loops around the yard. It was quite interesting to see the set-up.
Easton enjoyed his day at the park today! You can see we still have traces of snow (we took Easton sledding last week), but today was a lovely 66 degrees! I love this time of year cause you can do fun snow activities and nice day activities too! This park has a huge slide (the picture only captures 2/3 of it) that slides down the hill to the playground! He enjoyed the playground for a bit, but I couldn't pull him away from this slide. He probably slid down 20 times and I had to bribe him with food to leave the park.
The park is next to one of my favorite neighborhoods! We love to look at gorgeous houses just for the fun of seeing the beautiful architecture and features!
I love this neighborhood b/c many of the houses look like mountain lodges/hotels! We are enjoying spending time with my family, eating out, and just doing some fun activities before we head to Texas.

I LOVE that park! And I totally know the house you're talking about! My Dad used to always take us to that house. I heard that this year is its last year--the people who own it are moving. I'll kind of miss the tackiness!
That house is insane! I wonder what it looks like without all the lights.
Haha. After cleaning up with my MyWay job I am always trying to de-junk. Jeff's always stopping me from throwing things out. I would have such a hard time storing all that stuff. We saw some neat lights this year. You turned to a certain radio station while outside the house and the lights flashed to the songs. There was a house where the Grinch's mouth moved and sang to the songs. This prob isn't making any sense. Guess you'll have to come back to Philly so I can explain it better ;) I am not back yet, but will really miss you and Ellen when I am. I started watching the Bachelor and thought fondly of you silly friends of mine! I am sure this is the worse written comment ever, but I don't feel like proofreading it so I am not going to! Love ya and hope you're doing well.

We went to that house too...And I thought the same thing! Where do they store all that crap during the rest of the year?
At least the kids liked it! But it was totally packed. Tons of people make that a yearly tradition.
Those lights are great. You should have seen Patrick's light job.
We are very excited to have you guys coming. The house next door to us is getting ready to be for rent if you guys are looking for your own place.
Wow that house is crazy. I don't know how they don't blow their entire electrical panel!
PS those last houses are beautiful. I also wish I could live in something like that. Wish i the key word!
I LOVE COLORADO WEATHER!
