2008 Christmas Tour of Homes!

BooMamaChristmasTour

You can also take The Tour of Homes if you like to see Christmas pictures. Just click on the button above and go through the list of blogs at the bottom of BooMama's post.

We want to start by sharing our Elf dance with you. If you havent done it, do it soon!!! Too funny. Also, it is a really good idea to go down to the music player on this page and pause the music before trying to listen to the video's. Enjoy!

Our Christmas lights are now up for those of you who like to come by and check them out. While our lights are scaled down a bit from years past, they are still programmed to your favorite Christmas songs. There are thoughts of adding to them as we get closer to the big day, but we will have to wait and see. We want to make sure that Santa is able to see our house from the sky high above.

It was fun watching Will's reaction to the lights when we finally turned them on for the kids. He wasn't old enough last year to understand or appreciate it, but this year he is old enough to really enjoy the lights. He danced in the street to the music and said "I like it daddy, I like it."

Here is a picture I took of the house. The picture shows most of the lights but doesn't do it justice as all the different parts are shown lit when they really come off and on to the music.





So here is some video!!! You might want to pause the blogs music by going to the music feature below which is just to the right of the counter downer picture so that you can hear the music in the video better. Enjoy!





Will's first Christmas!

Taylor's first Christmas!

Our Tree!

Lit up!


Our count-downer. It's gettin lower!


More to come here soon! Make sure to watch for more Christmas pics soon to go up, as well as the House Lights Video (Now up). We hope you have enjoyed. See you next year, enjoy the rest of your tour!

Merry Christmas and God Bless

Hi and thanks for the comment and for taking the time out of your busy lives, to share in a little of mine.

You have a beautiful family, love the big smiles and blonde hair.

I checked out a few of your blogs and it is apparent how proud you are and should be.

You are a very blessed family and I will enjoy stopping in from time to time. Thanks so much for the introduction and may you and your family have a very Blessed Christmas.

Happy Holidays.

Hah! I loved the light show, y'all! That totally rocks. You've got to tell me how that's done. And how did you have enough outlets for all the lights? My husband would shoot me if I did enough lights to make a good show all Mr. Energy Conservation Man. Of course, that's never stopped me before, right?

Love it!

Beautiful decorations! My house is woefully inferior, but I can at least admit to it. I'll be showing pictures of our tree tomorrow (if fate allows or time, whichever of the two). Sad, really.
By the way, you asked for the challenge. I hereby give you the letter J! A little challenging, but you should find plenty of inspiration!
