Hotel d'Lam goes Griswald

Hi Y'all!
Well tonight was fun! While my Coconut birthday cake for Will baked in the oven I helped Will and his 2 sisters put more Christmas lights on Hotel d'Lam and now it officially looks like a Griswald house! YAY! {happy dancing!} I have been a little disappointed by the lack of lights around this year, has the global financial crisis hit the Christmas light scene? There are even 2 houses covered in lights and assorted blow up personas and additional Christmas crap that you can see during the day, which I pass on my way home from work and I have yet to see them actually turn the lights on! With all that effort I'd like to see some results! Oh, but there is a house around the corner from Hotel d'Lam that is almost more covered than ours! It's pretty cool. I hope we get lots of slow drivers down the street having a look. Will and I already did a little tour of the neighbourhood tonight {wink!}
The lack of other houses with lights has made me even more determined to make sure the lights stay on long at night at Hotel d'Lam! (Hopefully it wont permanently blow the power board in Lil's room, though it has already gone off twice!) The girls did most of the work with Will just helping out with the loopy lights. Isn't it so pretty! If you know what the house looks like in the day time it looks a little more impressive. But you get the idea. Have you put the lights up at your house yet? Come on Christmas grinches! Get in the spirit!
