82 days, 10 weeks and 503 hours

82 is the number of days 'til the "big day"!

503 is the number of hours that my battery operated tealights are going on. Yes - they have lasted this long! If anyone needs tealights for ANYTHING - check out the Christmas Tree Shop and pick up a pack or two. Six lights for $2.99 - you can not go wrong!

Also please meet the newest member to the Williams/Rietz household: Dozer. 10 is the number of weeks he is!

163 hours 23 minutes

That's how long the battery operated tea lights have been on. I bought them last week to "test" their strength and I have to say, I am pretty impressed. These little suckers haven't evened started to dim or flicker.

The whole purpose for the tealights is I am going to put them in mason jars and hang them from all the trees. It's going to look like 100's of firefly's in the sky - I can't wait!
