Last weekend, Andy and I took a trip up to Frankenmuth (http://www.frankenmuth.com). Our first stop was Bronner's (http://www.bronners.com). I didn't get any pictures of the outside of Bronner's, but you can check the link to see what it looks like. :) It's pretty much a store that sells Christmas decorations all year round.
I did take some pictures inside though. :)
One of the many holiday displays

Cheetah's guarded the fake tree department (all the big stuffed animals were for sale)

The sign around their necks said, "I love to have my picture taken but please don't sit on me."

I went to Frankenmuth once in the summer several years ago. :) It is a place where you wouldn't see the same thing twice I think!!

Thanks! :)
It sure is a great place! We spent pretty much the whole day there and still didn't get to all the shops. We're thinking of heading back this summer. :)
And if you look closely at the Big Fish ice sculpture. There is a cat holding a steering wheel on top of the fish's head. LOL! I couldn't get a decent close up.
