Christmas 2021 - Year 2 - The House Outlines

jjdb210 added permenant house outlines to his house for year-round usage. This involved adding controllers in the garage and attic. The North Pole was also added to messages could be conferred to the audience. A website was created to be able to "activate" shows.

Christmas 2022 - Year 3 - Flood Lights, Navtivity, and Minions

A small addition of some flood lights was added. Some other controller upgrades were made to make setup easier year-to-year. Late in the season, a large donation was made by Justin's neighbor which included 3 minions and a navtivity. Justin was able to get the Navitity up and somewhat programmed before Christmas, but the Minions required more work, and because of snow, wasn't able to get them into the yard.
