Our Display: Past, Present, and Future

For as long as I remember we have been decorating for Christmas. It started in the early 90's (About the time I was born) We had a couple soldiers and a few strands of lights here and there. Over the years we grew more and more. More lights and figurines were making their way into our display. In 1994 we moved from Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota to Oakdale, Minnesota. Oakdale was our growing place. We grew tremendously throughout the eight years that we lived there. There were a few lighting completions and we entered and won many of them! In 2001 our family moved yet again to our current location, Waverly, Iowa. Our display has grown a little here and there the past few years, but nothing really big has been added since the move. A few figures here and there, more lights, and the household favorite blow up characters... But no big "WOW" so to speak. That is why, for 2008, we plan to blow our visitors away! We are adding a brand new light show to our yard that will replace our previous display. So, in other words, our 2008 display will be completely new! We are already hard at work planning for the new things that we will be adding, so keep an eye out here to see if any updates have come up. 2008 will be a grand year and we hope that you can take part in another great holiday season!
