There have been some other fun November activities going on.
One Friday, upper school went on a couple of outdoor adventures. Mia went with 7th and 8th grade for orienteering on Red Top Mountain. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that outing. Lily went with 9th and 10th grade for a hike at Amicalola Falls. She (and everyone else I talked with) said it was a pretty strenuous hike, but the views were beautiful.
The school had their annual Color Run fundraiser recently. I think it's safe to say they enjoyed it.
Ryan and I went to Costco one day. Imagine how thrilled we were when we saw that they had Serrano hams for sale! We couldn't resist buying one of these 14 pounds legs of goodness. It came with the carving stand and knife too. This deliciousness lasted us for weeks!
Lily went to the JV/Varsity volleyball awards party at Coach Anne's house one evening. Only two awards were given for the season: MVP and Coach's Award. We were so proud of Lily being awarded the Coach's Award! This is given to an athlete who has demonstrated hard work over the whole season; Lily definitely earned this one!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year. Our family gets up to watch the Macy's parade; I am like a little kid waiting to see the Rockettes and Santa! The floats and Broadway productions are fun to see. We enjoy our sausage croissant casserole and hot chocolate while we watch too. It's just a nice tradition that I love.
It was a beautiful day to celebrate Thanksgiving at Sid and Elaine's house. I love that we gather and can take time to all say something we are thankful for.
Love this group!
So.Much.Food. It's all so incredibly good though! I could live off the appetizers alone, but I couldn't resist snapping a picture of my plate this year. This is probably a sampling of maybe just over half the items available for lunch. It doesn't even show the appetizers or desserts!
What a beautiful month it's been!
