Christmas week is really hard for David and I.
We love it but we would like to spend it with our families.
David in Utah and I in Brazil.
We started our own family traditions and we stay in Hawaii now.
I do miss being with my parents and Christmas Day is the only day of the year that I like snow.
It is to cold to go to Utah in December and to far to go to Brazil
especially with 4 children under 9 years old.
I learned to love the tradition of Christmas morning for opening gifts
and something that I REALLY miss is waking up and smell mom Barlow's homemade
biscuits, bacon and gravy.
We make it better inviting some friends to come over and spend the Christmas eve or day with us.
This year we were invited to De Lima's home.
It was great, we had yummy food, Brazilian desserts and good company.
I am so thankful for all of the blessings that I have
and to the opportunity we have to celebrate Christ in our lives.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Cute babies playing together! We had fun reading and acting the birth of Jesus.

Friends make everything better! These two sing really well!

It felt just like home with a really yummy "Pudim de leite condensado" made by Andre and
my Brazilian Meringue lemon pie. It came out pretty good huh?
After the dinner we got home and got right to our
"Brazilian tradition"
opening gifts (well ONE gift)
at Christmas eve and I read the kids a cute story called
"A night without darkness"

Good night everyone and don't forget to leave cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the rein deers.
