Getting Ready for the Holidays

We have been so busy, time is flying by. We have been telling Jena about Thanksgiving and Christmas since she arrived back in August and it is certainly hard to believe we're already here.
Two weeks ago we all saw Phantom of the Opera for the first time. It was absolutely wonderful and we all enjoyed it very much.


There are very few pictures lately that include Host Dad so we thought we'd give him a little blog time this week. The TampaBay Performing Arts is right on the
Hillsborough River and we even saw dolphins while we were waiting to go inside.



Yesterday we got our house ready for Christmas. Normally we do this the weekend AFTER Thanksgiving but this year we will be camping for 3 days immediately after so it will be nice to come home to the house already decorated (assuming the curious cats do not destroy things while we are gone). Maya was very helpful with the decorations as you can see.
















Next stop...Thanksgiving. This will be the 5th year we celebrate the holiday in Tampa with friends we previously lived in Key West with. A bunch of us who do not have immediate family in the area get together for food and fun and this year we are all carrying it over to a camping trip at Fort DeSoto Beach. The weather is predicted to be highs around 75 and lows between 50-55 so perfect weather for the occasion.

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!
