This is a look back at our show over the years.

This year the focus was on adding mini trees and more lights on the house. This resulted in two additional snowflakes on the front of the house, and a large vertical matrix on the front pillar of our house by our front door which replaced the candy cane and mistletoe that was there last year. During our Halloween show this year I tested my first singing face and it worked beautifully! With that successful test, I got to work adding two singing faces to our Christmas display.
- Total lights: 7,014
Things we added:
- Two new snowflakes to the front of the house (above each matrix that is on either side of the garage door)
- A new candy cane, bringing our total up to 3
- Two mini trees with stars
- A 4th arch was added to each of the existing arches on each side of the driveway
- A large matrix in front of the pillar by our front door
- 2 singing faces on our driveway

The main item for our second year was the Mega Tree. The tree contains 1,600 lights, while the star on the top contains 240 lights. After this I also really wanted arches, along with some yard decorations. I also swapped out the middle snowflake on the garage with a spinner which contains 448 lights. I'm really happy with how the layout turned out this year!
- Total lights: 4,990
Things we added:
- Mega tree
- Driveway arches
- Snowflakes on the second story of the house
- Two candy canes in the yard
- Garage spinner

This was the first year of our display. The focus for our first year was outlining the eves, windows, and garage door of our house. I also created a matrix for each side of the garage and 3D printed a mistletoe and candy cane for the front door pillar.
- Total lights: 1,857
