All Lit Up...

Last Tuesday night my family and I went out to the Mormon Temple in DC to see the Christmas lights. This has become a little tradition of ours and it's truly magical to see! The entire place is decorated with around 500,000 lights and it looks absolutely gorgeous! We walked around the property a few times and then ended our night by driving around and looking at the beautiful old houses in Chevy Chase all decorated for Christmas. I can't believe that Christmas is almost here and I really cherish these opportunities to celebrate the season. 

By the way, please ignore the quality of these photos. I was more interested in soaking up the experience than I was with fidgeting with my camera settings. 

Peace and Love,

The Lights at the Mormon Temple...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Wednesday night we went as a family to see the 600,000 lights at the Mormon Temple in D.C. It was our first time going but I seriously doubt it will be our last. All of the lights are just gorgeous and walking around to look at them all was just beautiful. After that we drove around Oliver Street and looked at all of the stunning houses lit up and decorated for Christmas. We ended the night with big cups of hot cocoa and marshmallows. It was a really great night with my family and a wonderful holiday outing.

Light It Up...

 

 

 

 

We have finally gotten around to putting out some Christmas lights! My dad and I spent yesterday morning working on the front porch. I still have a little bit more to do, but hopefully will get that done in the next couple of days. I love driving around the neighborhood at night and seeing twinkle lights draped all over the houses. It's pure magic. 

Peace and Love,

Love It...

Have you ever seen a house like this? I took this picture last week when we went ot our Grandparent's house. It's one of their neighbors. I love how decked out everything is! I don't know if I would go this far in deorating my own house but I am excited that these people were really in the Christmas mood!

Do you have any crazy houses on your street?

Peace and Love,
