A walk on Severinsen Street.

There is a neighborhood in town that goes all out for Christmas. Most of the homes are decorated in some way. We had Nathan and Brady last night so we took them to look at all the lights. They really enjoyed walking around looking at all the displays.

 It was pretty cool to see Santa in this home.

 The boys loved this display of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I think I may need to look for these for my own yard.

 Brady loved the lights and displays!

The Christmas Season.

  We have been cutting down our Christmas trees for years. We drive up to the Santa Cruz mountains and go to a tree farm. We have used many different farms over the years, but have been going to Peacock farms for several years now. This year we found a perfect tree. Look at that shape and no holes. 

 I have been collecting nativities for years. I am up to 36 now. I have posted a few of them here.
