The Christmas Feast
For Christmas dinner we eat turkey, Greek rice with raisins and carrots, Greek potato salad, dressing, and a cake. I made some Texas pecan pie not to feel too homesick!
A Present for Felipe
I drew Felipe for our family Christmas gift exchange this year. Some of you may remember that Felipe helped me a lot with learning Portuguese when I was settling in to Porto Alegre in 2003.
Noite Feliz
This is a movie clip of everyone singing Silent Night at Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve- the tradition here is to eat at midnight.
A Family Reunion
For the first time in 15 years Ana´s father, Luiz, and his brothers Pedro (left) and Orlando spent Christmas together. This was the first time Ana and her brothers and sisters met Pedro, who also came with his children and grandchildren from the state of Santa Catarina. Maybe you read a blurb in the news about the terrible flooding in that state. The Lord was watching over them as their family was not directly affected by the floods. It was so good to unite with them and make many lasting memories.
