So, so thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving
Miss Olympian
on Saturday night I took Samantha and a friend to the Miss Olympian pageant. It’s a beauty/talent pageant at the high school that girls can enter. There is a talent portion, interview and evening gown competition! There ended up being a big crew of girls and moms and it really was such a fun night!
All of the contestants did an excellent job. There were a LOT of dancers plus three piano players – one of whom was an insanely talent classical pianist that did an amazing piece by Chopin! I can’t believe she didn’t win. My personal favorite was the girl that did a color guard routine with a flag and rifle! Amazing! The highlight of the night for me though was a 10th grade boy that sang after intermission doing a rendition of Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind. He wasn’t a contestant but I think they should have given him the crown! ha! It was such a fun night.
I do love a good girl’s night out with my favorite girl!
School
We made it to Thanksgiving break and for that I am very thankful!! Wrapping it up with some cute before school OOTD pics!
Make it a great day!
Soccer
We wrapped up a fun season of fall soccer! It started with the travel tournament in Atlanta and then lots of fun regular season games and then more tournaments at the end! Samantha mostly played striker and center-mid and occassionally wing. She’s so good – I love watching her footwork and the way she can navigate the ball around the other players.
They even came out on top at the Birmingham Bash!
and got second place in the Hoover Tournament!
They even made it to a Legion game…
It’s been a great season with old friends and new friends. Thankful we got put on such a sweet team with some fun competitors!
I love watching Samantha play…
Way to go #52!!
More 9th football
I got a photographer to come to the 9th grade game versus Briarwood. It turned out to be a really exciting game that even included a weather delay! But, the Spartans saw it through to a huge win. Maxwell played the whole game and had some awesome plays.
The best was this fantastic pass breakup. I hate that #11 is in the front of the shot because it was awesome!
Spartans were trailing at the end of the 4th and had a chance to score on 3rd down but didn’t make it. There was 1 second left on the clock and the QB threw for a TD and we scored! SO exciting! Our awesome kicker then kicked a field goal to win the game! Talk about exciting!
Really proud of this whole team on a fantastic season!
Go Spartans Go!
