This morning it started snowing again. Snow is something fun to see when you sit inside your house and watch a christmas movie combined with a glass tea or a hot chocolate. But we decide to go out for dinner by our local greek restaurant. Danielle started throwing snowballs at me since she wears gloves and a hat. As usual I wasn’t but I didn’t care. Below you see the picture of Danielle after I won the snow fight…

My hands hurt from the cold but this picture was worth it! 🙂

The first four christmas seasons we celebrated in this house we decorated our house on the outside first. But this year the order was different because of the weather on the days I had time to work on the outside. Not that the weather was better and that sunday is the most ideal day to work in Germany but it needed to be done today because the next weeks my schedule would be tight and we don’t want to be the last in the street with our decorations. And as in the last 4 years we are the first in our street (probably city too) with our outdoor decorations.

Outside we’ve an environmental friendly setup which consist of LED lights only from the brand SYSTEM LED. The color of the LEDs is white daylight and in total there are 700 LEDs connected to the balcony. And especially with snow this gives an amazing effect because of the light reflections on the snow.

Since we also want to see something from our outdoor decorations we’ve started with LED acrylic figures. Last year we already had a reindeer with 40 white LEDs but it looked lonely. So we decided to add a polar-bear with 64 white LEDs to it.

I can’t wait for the first snow to see our new addition in a real winter setting.
