Life After We Do's

Look at all the lights!!!

In true Christmas spirit Devyn and I went looking for the Christmas lights. Of course it can't be Christmas without some hot chocolate right (peppermint hot chocolate for me). So we mapped out our route which lead us first to a drive through Starbucks...which had the most spastic drive through person I think I have ever encountered. All his words ran together "hiwelcometostarbucksistheresomethingicangetutoday" at about a million words a minute. Then when we pulled around to get our hot chocolate he proceeded to tell us what shopping he had left to do (a million words a minute), and how he buys gifts for his dog-- because his dog gets him gifts too. Poor Devyn was stuck talking to him while I was whispering under my breath "um just give us our hot chocolate". She was laughing, but the spastic thought it was at his story --not at me thinking he was odd. We drove away talking about how many coffees you have to consume in one day to be like that (careful Natalie that was a warning).

So off we set, the lights were fun to look at. Especially if you could have looked at them with us because we decided that the ones that were WAY over the top were scary and we wouldn't want to be their neighbors --and the ones where they had the characters of all sorts were creepy too. There was also a house that had THREE crosses all lite up in decorative fashion and we were not sure what that had to do with Christmas or at least happy decorative Christmas. We took lots of pictures for the blog so I won't hold you any longer so you can enjoy them all. Some of these places take donations for PG&E, including Mr. Christmas. A man who has over 42,000 lights in his front yard---and he himself was lite up waving at people (yea a bit creepy but funny although I think Devyn hit the gas a little more when she saw him).

It was fun, lots of laughs, hot chocolate and sarcasm. The only way Devyn and I would ever do a Christmas light tour!
