Christmas at Lewis Ginter

Steve and I went to members night at Lewis Ginter Gardens to see the creative lighting in the gardens. Every year is different and just as pretty as the last.

Here are a few pictures of the entrance

Paper Lanterns

Making our way past the fountain 

On our walk toward the home we come upon a  lion standing in the distance all dressed in lights

garden orbs change color

lake near children's area

The tree house in lights on the small lake

On the porch of the home is this tree done in all blue lights

Looking to front yard from the porch of home

Tomorrow I have pictures of inside the home to show of the decorations

Tonight we are taking the grand girls to see the gardens all lit.
