Maisie's

Tonight we took the kids to Maisie's for an evening of

amazing lights.

The story goes that this woman named Maisie, loved Christmas 

and she would decorate her house every year.

Then after she passed away, her son started

to decorate the house for Christmas in her honor.

It is quite an ordeal, lights everywhere.

It is so big that he actually has a store that sponsors him

and helps him with the lights.

I'm not even sure if he lives in the house, there

really isn't any room for him to live because

each room is filled with decorations and displays.

He might live in a back room, but all the rooms with windows

on the outside of the house are taken up with nativity's, Santa's 

and little villages.

Fact:  it takes 3 months to set everything up, sometimes

working up to 16 hours a day on the weekends

Fact:  the power bill ranges from $1,000-$1,500 a month

Fact:  there are approximately 100,000 lights in all and. . .

only 2 more days 'til Christmas, YEAH!!!!

Tyler and Heather under the mistletoe!
