Among all of the frosty trees, and Christmas decorations are several signs that the victims of the elementary school shooting in Connecticut are not forgotten.
Brenda Moszer has lived in her Lincoln neighborhood for around ten years.
She says putting up Christmas lights is a fun tradition, but this year, her yard holds something a little more heavy.
"I found a project on Pinterest I thought would be pretty fun, filling balloons with water and adding paint to them, you're supposed to throw them out in your yard and they look like marbles." says Brenda Moszer/Lincoln resident.
"We were watching coverage of the shooting in CT and I said, I think I know what we're going to do with them." says Moszer.
Nearly 30 ice balloons stand out in the snow, in the sign of the cross.
"As I was putting them together I thought well let's do this, clear one will signify God taking everybody home, orange ones signify teachers, adults, and the rest of the balloons for the children themselves." she explains.
Moszer says the young shooting victims will be on her mind this holiday season, especially as a grandmother of two little ones.
"I couldn't imagine losing them to something like that..." says Moszer.
"Talking to my granddaughter, wow, you just want to cry, you just feel so bad for those people." says Susan Weigel/Bus Driver.
Another grandmother drives on her route past the Moszer home.
Susan Weigel says the incident is being talked about by all ages.
For me, I relate because I have a granddaughter that's seven, and she too can relate to that, she knows that was a bad man, and that Santa isn't going to bring him any presents, even though she doesn't know the whole story." says Weigel.
Weigel is wearing a Santa hat to try and spread some cheer, during what's already been a tough winter.
In North Dakota Tuesday, Governor Dalrymple directed flags at half-staff in honor of the Newtown Connecticut victims.
Brenda Moszer says her cross display will stay as long as it's frozen.
