So after our picture taking time Rob and Michelle and boys
wanted to go see the Overly Christmas light display. No one
else opted to go but me… but it was great!
The only problem was that i had flip flops on and part of the tour
was a lot of walking in the snow and sub freezing weather.
Who knew?
 The next night the Ashes wanted to go see the lights… |
But the Lord provided this Christmas light display on the way. |
 |
| Rich Colors! |
 |
| Enter: Mom and Dad and babycakes. VERY cold.. but beautiful…. The Krogh and Versaw families had to get back to go for school to start…. but these guys were able to stay a bit longer. |
 |
| Large train display |
 |
| Can you see this old sleigh… with lights around the edges pulled by 2 huge horses? We went on the "covered" sleighride but they were both very cool! |
 |
| The Manger Scene! |
 |
| The little engine that could! |
 |
| A great display of lights over the whole acreage! |
 |
| Fun times in the hot tub!! |
 |
| The Christmas puzzle is done and so is our time here.. It was great to be with everyone in one space for even a short time! A perfect ending for the holidays and a great way to start the new year! love, margie/ mom/ gramma |
