We put a little tree in her window seat area that she decorated completely herself and then we made quite a few little yarn trees (per her request) and put them out with some feather boas (to look like snow) and that was it. It wasn't what I had planned on doing originally, but it was nice and simple and she had a lot of fun. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For her yarn trees she picked out three different shades of pink. (I only used the lighter two on the trees in these photos). We will have a tutorial up soon on how to make these. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhloMX4VzgYWXQujW8zidFwNJwFxSSmSV3Wm63OGZs0IILjyuP1EB0XCpoZ3zD4nrlv59lEfWcuqZ2D0OZabYuZ4cXIu-vhfKWSkcMjif2ugH50ueX87tWIqV8nb3LbqGbI5rAAC8cTD-A/s1600/eNovember_2319.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, and now with two little girls it is even more special. I love using elements from nature in my decor and we have made many of the decorations in our home ourselves to keep our costs at a minimum. We live in an 1800 square foot townhome in Virginia. It is a middle unit and therefore does not have any windows on either side (just the front and back) which can make photographing our space a bit challenging, but I did try to take more overall shots of the spaces than I normally do so that you can get a feel for the whole space and how it looks at Christmas! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Here is the tree in our living room:</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
