Day 279: Step Aside, Griswolds

After a full weekend (and one weekday) of working outside detangling lights, hanging lights, buying more lights, feeding extension cords, building trees out of pallets and drilling holes into the dirt with a power drill (true story) to make the giant walkway bulbs stake in neatly, we finally got the house decorated for Christmas!

Because if you don't pay for electricity (when you live on base), you might as well take advantage of it.

Step aside, Griswolds. The Hansen's are coming through.

People are already slowing down and turning off their headlights to pass the house. I should charge admission.

It pays to have a corner unit of the townhome. Also it took Brad and neighbor Nick an entire day to get those lights and ornaments in the tree.

Brad made me pallet trees!! Also that present it the neighborhood water shutoff or something that we just covered and wrapped for them. 

Also we added the Hoth Battle in the form of Darth Vader and an igloo because that screams Christmas. And snow underneath. Our next door neighbor is currently making us a "Hoth" rebel base sign to put in front. 

Our front porch. Please appreciate the extension cord plethera

Side yard. Snowflake projector up high and "ornaments" hanging off our fence

Front of our joined garage. The No-L sign (Get it? GET IT?? Say it outloud..."No-El...NOEL") has been part of my family traditions since childhood.
