  • The goal for this year is to add two Baby (3') Mega Trees that blink with the 15' mega tree. Also to add blue lights to the Mega Tree family and switch them to all blue with the house trim is white and blue.
  • The rope light for the Cross went out last year so I'll be changing it out to randem twinkling lights with an outline in white lights or multi color lights to match the house trim as I did last year.
  • As with the last 2 years, we always want to add leaping arches so they are still on the list.
  • New website sign so people know that this site is here

2010 Display

For 2010 we received Honorable Mention in the Orange County Register Holiday Lights Contest that was a total suprise to us. The paper never sent us anything but a friend saw it in the newspaper and let us know.   Below is a copy of the their website page.
This year we only added a few new items: small palm trees around Bethlaham, changed out the snowflakes to white led lights on the stripes lining both sides of the yard, and we lined the Cross with multi color lights that came on with the multi color trim.

  • Added a pre-scene to the Nativity scene with Joseph & Mary on their way to Bethlehem with the Wisemen on their way.
  • Added 7' medium Mega Tree that blink in sync with the 15' Mega Tree
  • Changed the net lights on each side of the yard to blue and white snowflake stripes that continue down from the roof stripes that blink to the music
  • And one more elephant for Amber's collection as that is the mascot for Cal State Fullerton
