And Finally.....

...we celebrated Christmas in Florida (and in case you haven't guessed!) we've been quite busy ever since.  We were awakened Christmas morning to the sound of Squeegie and Taffy shrieking gleefully.....

...about the fact that there were presents underneath the palm tree in our front yard!  Sure enough when we went out to check ... there they were!  We opened them up - everybody got chocolate bars and....

...Squeegie and Taffy got new fleece jammies - we're sure there will be some cool nights while we are here.  Then we all got dressed up to go to church.  Denis and Liz told us about a little Catholic church just starting up in our area.  They have received some land from the Diocese, but do not yet have enough money to build - so right now the church is located in a small strip mall on Hwy. #27, about 10 minutes from us.  The parish has done a wonderful job of making a church there.  After church we went over to Denis's villa for Christmas dinner.  Liz had everything looking......

...very festive and the meal looked (and tasted) delicious!  We had Christmas dinner with all the trimmings - in Florida!  How wonderful!  Poppa and I both enjoyed it.....

...Thank you to Liz and Denis for a marvelous Christmas in Florida - and to Poppa for presents under the palm tree!
