Hi friends! It has been such a joy to see the pictures some of you have sent of your homes decorated for Christmas! Keep em' coming; your creativity has been so inspiring, (and I'll be compiling them to one post to share close to Christmas)! I finished all our decorating earlier this week and thought it would be fun to link up with Jennifer Rizzo's Holiday House Party!
If you love seeing homes decorated for the holidays, you'll definitely want to hop over to check out the many beautiful homes linked to this virtual 'tour party'!
I never decorate for the holidays with any particular theme or color scheme, but I like the decorating to feel fresh and unique year after year. Since I don't want to spend $$$ on brand new decorations, this stretches my imagination with what we already have - and gives me the opportunity to make new things myself! As you tour the rooms I have linked some of the DIY projects for you to check out if you'd like, and a few more will be coming soon!
Please come in and enjoy the tour!

Our young children, (ages 4, 4 and 2), set up the nativity for the first time this year.
I love that they huddled everyone around baby Jesus!

Rather than buy all new pillows for Christmas and the winter, I rummaged my closet and pulled out two brown belts to gather around my large white pillows!
During our snow days earlier this week the little ones and I got busy making some snowflakes of our own inside, (tutorial coming soon)!
What fun!
Sadly, the tree topper that my husband and I picked out together before our first Christmas broke earlier this week. I made this one from a wire coat hanger wrapped in twine! Tutorial coming soon.

A few small sprigs from our Noble fir fit nicely in a pair of mismatched Mason jars
Merry Christmas, to all!
