Queeny's 2014 Decorations
RENEE...I put this in here, then decided it might be better in the "other" photos topic...so I'll let you decide which area it should stay in....delete one or the other. THANK YOU!
Okay gang...I promised to show you what we did outside this year. So here are our decorations for 2014.
Outside, the reindeer and sleigh, candy canes and lighted presents are new this year. The Candy Canes actually turn the corner by the garage and outline the whole driveway out to the street.
Inside decorations
Living room full
Entertainment center and TREE
TREE
Decorations INSIDE the Entertainment center. Some I show lighted by the entertainment center lights and then again, not lit.
Chris graduation photo and musical snow globe, lit.
Unlit...
More collection
Wind-up musical Santa and Chris and his bronzed baby shoes.
Photo of my Sister, her husband and my nephew....LONG ago. Both my Sister and Hubby have passed. This is the nephew we got Shania from.
This is the Santa that Chris and Cali MADE me last year, and them in their apartment with their tree.
My Mom thinks my husband needs these "NOISY" fun things...the "green Senior Jalapeno, AND the one next to him with the maracas both sing, "Feliz Navidad"....the last one on the left...makes "farting noises" when you PULL IT'S FINGER and say's stuff like..."Bet you did not expect that for Xmas."
This is the more traditional table...with my Nature Father
My "night light Santa
And lastly my Yule Log that was a labor of love from my Dad, last year when I could not find one....he can't even walk to his shop now...so this log has memories that will last forever.

Re: Queeny's 2014 Decorations
Thank you hon....like you said, it can be sad when someone, even fur kids are not here.
That one photo of my sister, her husband and their son...Only their son is alive, he's 22 in college and he's the one we got the dog from.
Both sissy and her husband died way to young.
But I know the Universe had to have it this way....it's all in the plan. ♥

Re: Queeny's 2014 Decorations
Hubby only has off Thanksgiving, and that Friday off...then of course Sat. and Sun. But nothing else till Christmas. So it's tradition to get it done the day after Thanksgiving.
My little Sister started it, by beating me one year, then rubbing it in. So we kept both getting earlier and earlier...now she is gone.
But my son called and said...so did you get your tree up Mom? I said yes...he said, "well we put ours up the day BEFORE Thanksgiving!! We beat you!"
I don't know if he realized how much that made me smile. Or if he and his new wife just really wanted to beat ole Mom...but it was special. ♥

Re: Queeny's 2014 Decorations
Pretty much....we have a fake tree, and hubby made a wood stand for it, so it would be even with the Window sills...and he SCREWS the plastic tree stand DOWN to the wood one, so the cats can not take it over!
