In the beginning of the year my parents invited me and Gabriel to spend a weekend at Serra do Cipó. So sweet. We had a pretty pleasant time doing relaxing things like eating, swimming, reading, playing Boggle, eating, reading, and eating some more! It was nice to get away from everything, even if only for a short period of time. Thanks again, Moother and Foother!

Boggle and beer! Yay!
Off to check out the old distillery (my dad ended up buying a couple of liters of the cachaça produced there):
Oh, wow! I've sure
gotten off to a great start this year ... blogging-wise ... NOT!! Argh!
Yay, so, here are a few pics of our New Year's celebration, which
obviously was ages ago. Never got around to getting the pics from my
parents' cam so these will have to suffice.

Gabriel and my sis's boyfriend bought a bunch of fireworks for the kids. Boy, did they have fun!
They were sooooooo loud!
Friends!
Yesterday was the Hubby's birthday and we went out to a pub with my siblings and a few friends. We had a great time and topped off the night with a delish selection of cheesecakes from The Cheesecake Factory.
Another Christmas has passed and it was as wonderful as could be! We were blessed to share this special day with each other once again. Can't forget to mention the added blessings of great food, presents, and treats! Yay!
