Welcome to my new home!

Here are some photos of our new home. We moved in a week ago. We worked like crazy to unpack and clean up for a family Christmas party on Saturday. It was such a wonderful time. We had a turkey dinner then a Yankee swap (Everyone brings a wrapped "white elephant" gift, then each person chooses a gift, opens it, trades it, etc. Lots of fun.), apple pie dessert, and lots of good visiting. You can see we are still waiting to put the cooktop backsplash tiles on the wall. (See above the flowers on the island.) But most of the house is finished.

We had just about everything we needed for the dinner, except I couldn't find the serving spoons, so we used long handled iced tea spoons instead. My sisters shared one water glass and one wine glass between them. Haha. We had such a good time. I'm still feeling a glow from the wonderful family day. Everyone happy and healthy at the same time.

This is the entrance foyer. A neighbor brought us a pointsettia. The "streaks" of light on the wall are created by the light fixture. More photos to come. Thanks for visiting. :)

Oops, little mistake. If you're looking for the post about ornaments, it'll be here tomorrow.
