Happy birthday to me!

Today was a good day. I went to see "Atonement" with my dad (at first I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not, but now I've decided that I do). It's set in the 1930s and 40s, and it's about how a girl's lie ruins two people's lives. Then I took a nap, and then we went out for a milkshake before driving through neighborhoods to see Christmas lights. Here are a few of the displays we saw:

A Texas sleigh:



(In case you can't tell, that's a covered wagon the reindeer are pulling):



Our Dallas sports teams:



And a Texas Christmas isn't complete without an armadillo or two:



We also saw what I called a "schizo" house at first. As it turns out, you tune into a radio station and all of the sudden it's not so schizo anymore -- the lights are timed to music! It was very neat.

Overall, a very good birthday.
