Twas the night, 4 days before Christmas...

Hello!  I hope you all are enjoying the last week before Christmas. I sure am! Tonight, I decided to take a few snapshots of the front of the house to share with you.  Join me and I'll take you on a mini tour.
This year, instead of plastering the flower beds with twinkle lights, I decided to light-up the entire house with spotlights. 
I lit all the major corners of the house, and also lit up several trees.
I hung three wreaths with red bows on each of the garage coach lights.
I used the Deco Mesh Garland with ribbons and ornaments around the front door, and mesh wreaths on the double doors, as well!
On the side of the house that faces the street, I added this large lit wreath.
See the tree to the far right?  I love how the light hits the tree and frames the far corner of the house.
A view when coming down the street.
Can you spot 4 Christmas trees in the windows?
This is a shot of the office tree in the front window.
 This is a shot of the Living Room Tree.
 Front Porch
 I have two lit topiary trees on either side of the door.
 This is a Birch Tree lit up at night.  I must admit, the spotlighted trees look beautiful from inside the house.
Next year I'm going to go crazy with lights.
 Just look at our neighbors house across the street.  LED lights are so bright...love, love, love seeing this at night.....
I hope you are all enjoying your lights and neighbors outdoor lights, as much as I am! =)
Thanks for stopping by! xoxo ~Liz

Liz- It looks so beautiful! Just gorgeous. My son spotlighted his cottage style house this year too, with no mini lights in his bushes, and I love the way it looks...and YOURS is soooo pretty!

You know what I love when I visit your blog though best of all? Your 4 smiling girls in your header. They are just beautiful little girls and what fun you will have with them at Christmas. Blessings to you and your sweet family- xo Diana

Your house looks beautiful! So many people are using the spotlights this year. I think it looks fantastic! I am sad to say this, but I am very disappointed (in general) in the lights in our area. I think it is harder for people to feel Christmassy when it is 75 degrees! Our street is about the most lit up! We love to drive around and look at lights! Thank you for sharing!
