Christmas Pictures - 2006

Here are a some snapshots from the christmas lights webcam along with some other pictures I took - also see some side-by-side comparisons of a Canon DSLR versus the D-Link Webcams. We had a major blizzard on December 20th, 2006, so check out the Colorado SnowStorm pictures that are on a seperate page. The complete play-by-play is on the christmas blog and christmas messages log. Also check out the christmas videos while listening to free christmas music. And if this isn't enough for you, take a look at previous years' Halloween & Christmas Pictures! ;-)

15,000 christmas lights & Elmo, Hulk, Frosty, Santa, and Homer Simpson - D'OH! ;-)
