November was a lovely month and I am so thankful that Ben and I were blessed to have such a beautiful exchange student come. She is friendly to everyone she meets, considerate, thoughtful, and responsible. She is pleasant to have around and I have gratitude that it has been a positive experience for everyone. Here are some photos from November:
Just a random school night for a waffle with my "daughter," "Sister," "Exchange Student," and Friend.
Sara grew up loving the High School Musical Movies; So we had to go and see the High School where part of the Movie was filmed in Salt Lake City.
The same day we went to the High School we went to a traditional Madrid, Spain food restaurant in SLC where we tried Paella and Jamon Serrano. It was so delicious and different than anything I have had before in my life. I was so fun seeing Sara have such a fun day showing us some of her food and going to the High School.
We also checked out a vintage clothing store.
During the Thanksgiving break, Sara's friend Marta came over who is also an exchange student. She made another traditional Spanish Meal called Tortilla Patata which means a Potato Omelette. Ben and I loved it and crave it often. I tried making it once since and it was an epic fail. It looked similar but didn't have the same texture and taste as when Marta made it. I guess I will just have to practice more!
For Thanksgiving we spent it with Benjamin's side of the family. We had 40+ people so we held it at the church. Most people brought something to contribute that was previously assigned. We ate food, played games/basketball, spent time with family, and also went to the movie, "The Good Dinosaur" later that day.
Sara's first time trying eggnog!
Here she is excited to receive a package from Spain!
