Hola!
I had to sneak at least ONE post in, before November finishes. This Thanksgiving weekend has been full of fun things, and lots of eating and good food and friends. We even got to talk to a few family members along the way, too :) Not all, but some.
THANKSGIVING DAY. I like the Thanksgiving dinners we have, where I can SHARE the cooking with other people! Our friends invited us over with another family, and we split the cooking. I made 2 dishes: green bean casserole with the French Fried onions on top, and sweet potato casserole. Yum!
Then we played games after the meal...Catch Phrase, and a new one: "Escape!"
It's a problem-solving-help-each-other-out kind of game, finding treasure in an Egyptian tomb. There is a CD with dramatic Indiana Jones music, and you have to get out by the time the music ends, so you're on a clock. It was pretty intense.
I am thankful for so many things in my life!
My family.
A safe neighborhood.

Convenient and close food access.

And now I'll jump back to the week BEFORE Thanksgiving. Kara is the Sophomore Class President. Basically that means she's in charge of class activities, and plans a lot of fundraisers to pay for those activities.**If you click on these photos, they will be bigger.**
The big event for Sophomore Year here, is "Sophomore Semi." For "semi-formal dance." It was the Saturday night before Thanksgiving, and that Saturday was full of buying decorations, and going to the Weston Country Club early to decorate.  |

Then go have hair done,
It was a whirlwind of a day...but I believe a good time was had by all!
Hope your Thanksgiving weekend was a good one. Kari
