We were able to do a bit more this year with the show and hopefully we will implement everything… Currently
- Adding red icicles to the display.
- We have 2 new songs synchronized.
- Likely adding a green canopy to the front tree.
- Expanding rear tree to have a much higher red/white spiral.
- Integrating one of the bushes in the yard that we have left out before.
- Integrating Green, White and Red lawns lights.

We haven’t done much this year – been very busy with work and we have a 3 1/2 year old!

2009
- 10 New Spiral Trees – 5 Green / 5 White
- Working on Snowflakes and Christmas Trees with holographic film and lights
- Working on new songs – may not have the time!
- Synchronizing a few items this year to be more involved!
- Working on new palm leafs this year – last year they were too heavy and damaged our palm tree in the front!
- Need to re-install the DVR system and cameras – we will be adding a few flood lights this year just to help with the dark areas – the night vision is truly amazing though! YES – We have SECURITY CAMERAS! We have a few kids that cause problems – but we mainly want to make sure people stay safe! There is a lot of electricity running through our yard and we want people behind the fence on the sidewalk!
