Of course we have to hit the Temple Lights as well, and oddly enough (just like last year) it was raining. But our night devoted to the Temple Lights also has a few other must sees.
First stop the house of the inflatables. There is this random house just off of Lindsay between Baseline and Guadalupe that has the most inflatables on the planet! We found it by accident last year and it is now a must see. Just south of these houses is a neighborhood we always drive by as well becuz the whole block is pretty spectacular. Then we also have to run by 2540 to see the huge snowman. 2540 is our first little house that bought, and in that neighborhood there was this house that would put up this HUGE snomman with a twinkling eye that you could see from Baseline. It now appears that the other houses in the circle have caught on to the Christmas spirit, cuz now along with the snowman the houses in the entire circle outdo themselves, there is a huge star, and a live Santa. Like I mentioned previously it was raining that night, and not many people were actually getting out of there cars, but there were 4 elves (dressed from the green outfit to the striped stocking) that were coming out to people's cars with umbrellas.
Next stop: Cherry Tree Lane in Gilbert. Yet one more neighborhood where an entire circle seems to outdo themselves. This one (sad to say) was a little sad this year. Not sure if it was becuz of the rain, but while we could see that decorations and lights did exist, not everyone had remembered to actually turn them on--BOOO!
Then comes the annual stop for hot cocoa. We stopped at QT, where everyone filled their cups and then the kids went CRAZY with all the flavor add ins. I think Delainee ended up with a french vanilla, butter pecan, and I went for the french vanilla with a shot of cinnamon hazelnut AND amaretto.
Finally we made it to the temple, where the rain had FINALLY died down a bit, but still was drizzling.
(Poor Wavee looks like a mental patient with that bandaid on her head)
