Christmas lights

We love looking at christmas lights.  We love bundling the kids up and getting hot chocolate and driving to our favorite spots.  If you are in our neck of the woods, here are two spots that have amazing christmas lights:
Yale street in Fullerton:
(The entire street hangs these light spheres from their trees and it goes for several blocks.)
And can I just say that the pictures do not do them justice...)
 A few of the homes wrap their entire trees.  It's beautiful!
One house has their entire house in the theme of The Charlie Brown Christmas, and since Ryder loves that movie, you can imagine how much time we spent in front of that house:
One house syncs their lights to music.
Last year I felt VERY pregnant when we came here, so it was fun to have Eden with us this year!
Her eyes were HUGE while looking at all the lights.
The other spot that we like to go is off of Starflower street in Brea.  Over 100 homes participate and they do an incredible job making it a spot that is fun for families to be together.
 Since we put up our nativity scene, Ryder LOVES seeing them around in people's homes and yards.
Each time he see's one he shouts out, while pointing to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus,  "Oh, look! mama, dada, bebe Jesus!"  And depending on what animals are present, I get the list of those with their animal sounds. 
This one was a favorite!
It really helps remind me of what we truly get to celebrate this time of year!
I hope that you have a wonderful day!
