Some Thanksgiving Fun

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here in Land O Lakes! Even though it was totally strange to watch White Christmas in 80 degree weather, we had a fantastic time at Clearwater beach this weekend. I love Florida! Here are a few Thanksgiving pics:

Naomi and Eliza helped us make pies. They loved it.

We made a kid table for Naomi and Eliza.

The grown-up table - I got to use my wedding crystal for the first time.

We went to a tree-lighting ceremony in New Hyde Park in Tampa. They had hula-hoops, which the girls loved. Here is Naomi trying to be like her Auntie Chrissy (aka the hula-hoop champ of Woodbrook Elementary or maybe College Wood... I forget)

The girls also visited Santa or maybe it was Dumbledore - I'm not sure.

We had a gingerbread house competition. Naomi and Eliza were team captains. Na picked Uncle John Kelly, Nan, and Granddad. Eliza picked Auntie Lo, Auntie Liz, and me. David was the judge (mostly because he was watching a game on tv...) Eliza's team won! This is the front of her house.

Eliza on Clearwater Beach - it was so beautiful.

My cell camera isn't great at night shots, but here are the Christmas lights on our palm tree. Props to Granddad for climbing up on the roof twice to put up the Christmas lights, then fixing the strand that decided to stop working later that night.
