Ugh. I have been waiting 365 days to put up the Christmas tree. I love doing it, and it makes me oh-so-happy. This year, not so much.Last year we had some definite difficulties with the tree stand (as in, the bolts were completely stripped and did nothing), so we splurged and spent $3 after Christmas on a new stand. Turns out, it's $3 for a reason. It didn't work at all... The bolts just went right past the tree when you tighten them. Result: the tree starts to dramatically lean/fall every time you start to think maybe it'll stay up. Awesome. So Jeremy worked his magic and rigged up a system to get it to stand right (nice job, by the way). Right when we were starting to breathe our first sighs of relief.... TOTAL blackness. That's right. ALL the lights on the tree went OUT. Poof. Nothing. So we get to tackle that today. So this is why people buy those pre-lit tress, eh? Good thing we bought sweaters for the dogs to make me happy. That's right. Sweaters. I did it, and I'm not ashamed. They get sooooo cold (they're tiny, you know), and I can't stand to see them shiver. THAT problem's solved now, and I think they're pretty happy with it (despite Parker's face in that first picture, ha ha).

doggie sweaters... CUTE. : )
i also hate it when they shiver. the sweaters are precious.
The prelit go out also only in sections and they can't be taken off so you have dead bulbs everywhere....sigh, just as bad.
The sweaters are cute =)
Sick! I hate animals dressed as humans.
