Christmas Lights in Livermore

On Saturday we went to Livermore to see Christmas Lights. We made sure to bring the camera so we could our pictures with this beautiful water fountain situated on the corner of 1st street and S. Livermore. It is very pretty during the day and even more so at night with all the colored lights.

In this picture you can see some of the gazebo that surrounds the water fountain. The lights at this time of year only go between red and green, but normally they are purple, yellow, red/pink, blue, and green. It is very nice to see.

One of the houses we went to has been displaying Christmas Lights every year for the past 25 years. Every year has a different theme and the front yard for this house is turned into a Winter Wonderland, complete with Christmas store fronts, a huge nativity scene in the front window and thousands of lights.

This year the house and its surrounding trees had 278,600 lights. They people who decorate this house start in September in order for the display to be ready. It was so amazing to see. This will definitely be one our list to check out each year. We found out about this house from the website www.lightsofthevalley.com

We drove through another neighborhood that was decorated, but did not get out of the car as it was too cold. My favorite house was the one with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Trevor's favorite was the one with SpongeBob Squarepants. The picture with Mickey and Minnie turned out blurry. Next year we will have to get out and walk.
