Outside Christmas Decorations

17 years ago

Here are our outside decorations because my husband wants some credit too.... :) We normally do icicles on the upstairs eves and around the porch....but DH thought it might be too much this year....we added several lights around small trees and shrubs this year... I think we needed the icicles, but I don't have any good photos to compare to past years...oh well!

AND.....meat DOTTIE....

This poor tree has been tucked away in the attic for over 10 years. She was purchased for garage sale prices for my brother's wedding....mid-December....decorated the entire reception area in trees. She has been unwanted and is not allowed inside the house..... She is cheap and a bit goddy.... but she is dottie and really fits this neglected part of the porch!

BEAUTIFUL....
and I like Dottie too. She has a history!

My DH was never interested in the decorating, so no cool outside stuff like you have. Give your DH a pat on the back from here in Phx.

It's all beautiful. Tell your DH he did a great job!

And Dottie appears to have many good years of life left in her. She's kept her shape very well and is beautiful in all her finery.

DH did a great job with the outside and I love Dottie. I didn't even put up lights outside yet and don't know if I will. I may just frame the door.

Love your porch, and Dottie looks just perfect there. You almost don't even need outside decorations with all your pretty trees in the windows! Looks very festive! Luvs

Love All your Trees in the windows..so festive..Cudos to DH on the outdoor decos...but I have to add to what others commented on.. Dottie!! She might have signs of wear and tear on her...but there's Nothing like 'Experience' and I'm sure Dottie has lots of stories to tell! Ahhh if trees could only talk.
I can tell how much you love your home, you've done a beautiful job, both inside and out.
