This is the first year we did lights and they didn't look really bad. I'm especially proud of the bush on the right. The icicle lights on the roof are brand new (we must have looked pretty strange buying lights the day before Christmas eve) which is why they aren't hanging down. They're still scrunched up like they were in the boxes. Maybe by the time we take them down in July they'll hang better. (totally kidding about the july part)
