I didn't go crazy decorating this year, since we still have workers coming in & out of the house with dirt, mud & dust. But I'm having fun finding new places to put decorations, and buying a few new things to go with the new rooms :)

| A new wreath for the front door |
I kept it very basic in the foyer... sticking with my Santa card display this year.
The kitchen didn't get too much either, with work still going on. I put these vintage cardboard serving bowls up on above the stove. I figured those aren't likely to get broken since the workers are messing with the hood!
Then we've got elves that keep moving around (we are infested with 9 of them!) They were my grandmothers and my brother & I always searched for them around her house when we were little kids- long before the whole Elf on the Shelf became popular!
More elves... on the new dining room chandelier!
...which then got some ornaments, once the elves hopped over to other rooms.
Back to the family room... I hung the wreath that had been on the front door, over the mirror that's above the fireplace. I gave it a new bow, and then put this pretty angel in front. It was just one of those random groupings that now I'm really liking!
We've been enjoying lots of cookie baking- I feel like we hadn't done any good cookies since moving to this house (I just wasn't feeling up to it in the old icky kitchen!) This year we've baked several nights during the weeks leading up to Christmas. It's so much easier with all of the baking supplies at our fingertips in the new kitchen!
