Christmas Extravaganza-Volume 2

Last night, my favorite blog stocker-read my hubby, commented that he's been checking for days... and I still haven't posted my second part to my Christmas series. Being the sarcastic wife that I am, I commented, "You live here, walk around and take a looky loo." He lamented eloquently about how much he loves the sarcastic humor on my blog, which is probably why he married me. Anyways, I rarely cook for my husband, but today, I'm blogging for you, Mike, because I'm that kind of awesome. So without further fanfare, I present Post 2, the exterior lights.

I have an inner Clark Griswold that I discovered in high school as I orchestrated the lighting of 40 foot grain silo. Don't worry, I didn't actually climb to the top and risk life and limb to light the silo. I securely held the ladder at the bottom, as I sent my younger siblings way, way up to the top with lights and duct tape. Yeah, its hard to hold a ladder steady on a round surface, but since I was the roundest kid in the family, I did provide a pretty good base. Upon completion it was pretty amazing, except it did mildly resemble a very large piece of male anatomy. Think about the shape of a silo for a minute. Anyways, enough with the walk down innuendo lane, here's our approximate 10,000 lights for Christmas 2011.



Here's the outdoor Nativity with the Jesus Substitute, thanks to one Christmas in the ghetto. I'm pretty sure, Karma kicks back harder when you steal a Jesus.



Welcome to the Funny Farm!



Its not Christmas without a little Tropics nestled among the pines.






I love Mickey!



The Veggie Tale Nativity. When our old camper fell apart, I took a large piece of plywood and copied this Nativity from a catalog. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of it :)



Whats Christmas without Charlie Brown???

Enjoy, and don't worry Mike, I'll probably be posting the inside decor in the next week or so, or at least before Christmas :)
