our bestest friends

These are two of our best friends Andreza and Tiago. It is incredible, Andreza and Vagner are exactly alike they could be brother and sister and Tiago and I are exactly alike too . It is so funny because we always know what Vagner and Andreza are thinking and the same with me and Tiago. (Pay attention to who are the clowns....hmmm) Andreza and Tiago have two cute little girls and are finally awaiting their little boy who is due in June. They are more than friends, they are our family. Everyone knows that we are a package deal, if someone invites us to something they know that Tiago and Andreza come along with us and vise versa. As you can see, we have so much fun together! It's always a party!!!

Did someone say BBQ??

now THIS is a barbeque!!! Watch out Utah, because I am bringing home one of the best!! This was our Christmas BBQ. Just take a look..there's beef, lamb, chicken, ribs, sausage, and something else that I don't remember. This was just for 10 people, but wow was it good. The brazilians from the south (Rio Grande do Sul) are known for their bbq's. I can definitely testify that the rumors are true-they are good. This is actually done in the ground. My husband has been promising me for a long time a bbq like this and like always he follows through with his promises.

Christmas in the South

This is a picture of Vagner and his family when we were decorating the Christmas tree. Vagner is the oldest of five kids. Starting to the right of him is his brother Emerson, Jackson, his stepdad "preto", his mom (Noedi), his little brother, Alexandre, and his sister, Lorem. Christmas was a lot of fun. Of course I missed being with my family, but atleast we were with our Brazilian family. It was very hard for us to leave, especially thinking that it is going to be a while before we see them again, but it was a happy Christmas together in the South.
