Have I ever mentioned how competitive Bryan is?? Yes, I think I have once, maybe twice (no more like 10,000 times). It really does not matter what it is.....soccer, fantasy football, nice-looking lawn, etc. The man can be obsessed with being the "best."
Well, in late November, when Bryan discovered that our new neighborhood had a Christmas light contest, he started going bananas. Yes, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!!! He put up our lights immediately and of course, that was not enough.
Then he found out that the Christmas light contest had a "prize" and he went into overdrive. He borrowed lights and a music machine from his brother. He borrowed more lights and blow-up thingies from his brother-in-law. The man was OUT OF CONTROL.
BUT I will have to say that after all of this mess was up on our house, trees, shrubs, the lawn, etc., I did notice that people began to start driving by and stopping at night. Our neighbors were encouraging this nonsense!!!! Bryan was beaming from ear to ear.
Last night was the contest. Bryan kept looking out the window every five minutes. He was becoming VERY aggitated. Finally, about 8:30 p.m., Bryan announced he and Jillian were going to "drive around and check out the competition."
When they got back, this is what they found in our front lawn!!!!!!
He won a $100 gift card to Home Depot. Isn't that crazy???? He says he is going to spend it all on lights so he can win again next year. 
How can I stop the madness???
I can probably just hope to contain it.
Hee hee!!!!

Lol! Tim Taylor in the making.
Awesome! Congratulations. I wish my hubby would go a little more bananas. :-) I go kind of crazy decorating the house, and the outside looks okay. We actually went to drive thru Windcrest tonight. Ahhh...I just love Christmas lights!!
