Christmas Lights, 2004

 

The back of the house, with the pine tree and gazebo decked out in lights. There are 400 icicle lights on the gazebo and 270 lights on the pine tree.

For this year, we added 200 white lights to the bush on the left. All of these lights can be seen from the street.

Looking at the house from slightly up the street. You can see the large pine tree from the backyard. All of these pictures were taken the day after Thanksgiving, November 26. We turn the lights on for good on my brother`s birthday in December.

A shot of the house, from slightly down the street. In total, we have about 5,000 lights on the outside. It took two of us, the better part of 3 days to put all of them up.

Here is a closer up shot, taken in the yard. You can see the new train we added this season that has moving lights on the wheels and smoke from the engine.
