Let The Games Begin: Griswold Style.

Well, I posted about my adventures during the weeeee hours of Black Friday.
That day I slept.
That night, we hosted the neighbors for the Official House Lighting: Griswold Style. You see, this year we went with an un-traditional take on Christmas lights, and the theme was "A Griswold Family Christmas." {"You serious, Clark?" Yes...Yes, Clark (a.k.a. Hubby) is very, very serious about his exterior illumination.}

And so, the neighbors all happily obliged & Mark & Jana even came in from San Antonio for a visit! {How lucky are we!?}

I'll share some pictures from the evening with y'all....


Drum Roll Please!!!!


{Imagine the sound of cymbals crashing!}





Some of the signs facing the street....




The back of the signs, only facing the house:





Some of the guys...


Some of the gals...


Some of the kids...






Patrick, being his silly-goofy-self!


Check out Hubby's AWESOME shirt that Josh & Lindsey got for him....


We were excited to see Mark & Jana, because we don't get to see them as often as we'd like.



Other pics from the evening...



It was a great night!

Sadly...I think Gage & I didn't rest nearly well enough over the few days prior to this big event. Saturday morning---we were both SICK.
Poor Gage was burning up with fever, and just SICK!
