Tacky Lights

true story...every year in richmond they have a tacky lights tour. people will load up in buses and limousines to be driven around in search of the tackiest christmas lights around. 
a little history...
Tacky Lights in Richmond got its start in 1986 when Richmond DJ Barry “Mad Dog” Gottlieb rented a bus and took Richmonders on the very first Tacky Lights tour. That tour sparked the Richmond Tacky Lights craze that’s now lasted 25 years.
Participating houses are verified each year by Richmond.com staff. Houses must have a minimum of 40,000 lights!!

this is serious business my friends!

Best buds

These two kiddos have been having so much fun with each other.
G has started to ask if little lady can play with him, which means having her sit and watch his creative mind in action. :) 
He loves his captive, enthusiastic, fun audience and she is always game for another show starring big brother. 
love these two little squishies!

Bleyls

We were able to spend another fun week taking care of C and doggie Jackson while the Bleyls attended General Conference in Utah.
No joke! This is how I found the G man...just reading up in the Church News.
