Here's one of our 'little friends' helping us out.  Actually he is helping himself to a meal.  A very expensive meal.  For some reason squirrels seem to love green LED lights.  Take my advice.  Don't put those $10 per string lights anywhere near a tree!!!

Speaking of helpers... here is one of our four-legged furballs making a new home in our window wreathes.  Surprisingly he does try to help by scaring off the squirrels who eat lights (see above) - too bad he's not too steathly.  Probably something about that bell tied around his neck.  (Which he does his best to get rid of.)

Another version of 'help'.  This is how we get those light strings and spheres so high up in the trees.  Thank you NES Rentals for the 40' lift!

This is my beloved wife fighting off her acrophobia in the lift bucket.  Here she is up about 20 feet running some lights - most of which the squirrels will leave alone.  The green ones on the other hand.... they taste like candy!

One of the daytime shots.  This is our neighbors yard (Thanks Tina!)

The belltower is my creation.  Yes, it is leaning a bit.  I straightened it out and staked it down for the show though.  The leaping lights are laying on the ground in the foreground.

Our Christmas card from 2007.  This is a good shot of last years show.

Here is the first shot of this years display.  Not all of the lights are on - I took this shot during the show.  We'll get some shots this weekend with everything on.
