Thanksgiving on LAS campus, tree with reindeer, percentiles

Thanksgiving was very big on the LAS campus- everyone in the school had lunch on the football pitch ("soccer field" for you Americans).  Below are some photos of  the campus, the girls with their classmates and our tree-decorating several evenings later. 
 
LAS follows a trimester in the elementary, so we also recently had parent conferences and received report cards.  Ms. Faiza says Anastasia has grown out of the shyness she displayed at the beginning of the year and is doing well and Mrs. Farah has been taken under Talula's spell.  The girls' report cards were good and included physical measurements.  Talula weighs 30 lbs (42nd percentile) and stands a mere 34 inches (4th percentile).  Anastasia's stats are both very near the 20th percentile: 41 1/2 inches tall, 37 pounds.

Reindeer began to play after decorating the Christmas tree

Pulling the sleigh...this game went on for quite a while!
