Visited Tucson’s Winterhaven recently with the family – haven’t walked it in a while!  And yes, Elvis still lives!  He was belting out Blue Christmas (the same display!) when we first walked Winterhaven on date night 20 years ago!

The best parts:

passing out awards: Best Use of Minons and the Pope At Once, Best Recycling of Halloween Decor, etc

holding competitions: Disney vs Baby Jesus (guess who won?)

playing I Spy: find a penguin! a heart! a wookie! a fish!

but really my favorite moment was watching my little girl enjoy all the pretty lights and spin pirouettes and twirl down the neighborhood streets to Christmas music!  

All you need is glove.

Yes there was a Star Wars nativity – and lots more Star Wars displays!

TEP award went to this house!  and this is when we realized there is not much to do in Tucson – so many people out! crowds everywhere!

Because to some people – this is the only way to decorate for the holidays.  Bear Down ARIZONA!!

A water feature set to music.  And I was proud that I decorated my mantle in lights and pine cones – I need to step it up!

8th grade tradition – Mr Madore made every science class watch this movie!

Am I the only one who gets a headache just looking at this one??
