I finished my spaghetti so I'll just play with the napkin holder while you folks eat.

Haylie proudly displays one of her hand-painted Christmas ornaments

34th Street

Here, David guides Haylie over to the Mickey display on a porch at the lights in Hamden's 34th Street display. The evening was cold and blustery but the various colorful displays were certainly worth it. Haylie's favorite was a big Christmas ferris wheel.

Annual Watson's Walk

Each Christmas, Haylie and Jacob visit Watson's Christmas Display and enjoy the trains, animals and decorations. This year, two camels held their attention. The walk through Christmas tree alley produced this cute shot.
