Touring the neighborhood's holiday displays


Our neighborhood seems to have gone all out this year with their Christmas displays. So a few nights ago, I bundled the two oldest kids up, and we went on a self-guided tour. We stumbled across this surprising display at the end of the road: it's a life-size take on a snow globe. It even blows fake snow around.

Since Colin has been desparate for it to actually snow here (Fedora remembers it snowing in San Francisco at least once growing up), he found the whole thing fascinating.

Two weeks ago, we actually saw frost on the roof and lawns while walking to school in the morning. So it's definitely been cold enough for snow. We've taken to wearing gloves and mittens. Amsuingly, Katie calls hers "mittmens" (to go along with the "buttnons" on her clothes). Posted by Picasa
