And the winner is.....

Every year for Christmas, Miriam and I go on at least one drive to see Christmas lights. Miriam gets in her pj's and makes some hot chocolate. We take a blanket for her to cuddle in, turn on some Christmas music, and drive around town to see all of the decorations people have done to their homes. It's one of our favorite things to do to celebrate the season. This year, it's fun because we are in a new town, and don't know where the best ones are. It's an adventure to drive around, and Miriam hopes that I can get us home.

This is a house in our ward:




The best part is when we decide which house is the Grizwald family Christmas house. I couldn't get everything in one picture, but here is this year's winner so far:



If you look closely, you can see Santa in the living room window. It's always fun when you find a house that is so involved in the process that they alter their living quarters just to carry out the look. I think we need to do it again next week so there is some snow to make it more fun. We like to do this after the first big snow storm, or sometimes during the downfall because it is so pretty. It just isn't Christmas without our trips together.
