    Haha! I think they're right about that.

    Not sure what the ground is like right now after nearly a week of sub-freezing temps, but I may have to get out there and kind of finish up...

    Less than 2 weeks until you light them, right? When do you usually set up the yard? Right before Thanksgiving?
