This photo is from our midnight Christmas dinner before the Mercedes broke down. Here we are on the varanda of Ricardo's aunts beautiful mansion in São Conrado neighborhood. From left to right: Maria Antônia (Rico's grandma), Maria Cláudia (Rico's cousin), me, Emília (Rico's mom), Cláudia (Rico's aunt), and Getúlio (Cláudia's boyfriend).
In front of the fake Christmas tree: Cláudia, me, Rico, and Maria Antônia.
Here we are on Christmas Day enjoying leftovers - codfish, turkey, chocolate nut mousse, and wine - at the house of a friend of Rico's family. From left to right: Socorro's husband, me, Rico, Emília (Rico's mom), Maria Antônia (Rico's grandma), and Socorro (the family friend).
Here I am with Bibi and her brand new Hello Kitty dolls. Bibi is the granddaughter of Socorro and was super shy when she first met us. As the afternoon wore on, Bibi decided to come out of her shell and we played with her new mini refrigerator, made chocolate mud pies for the Hello Kitties, and took lots and lots of photos.
Happy New Year to all, more photos and stories to come soon.
