Happy New Year / Feliz Ano Novo!

Hello everybody!
This is our first post of 2008! We hope you and your family are having a good time!
We came back from Brasil yesterday and now we are trying to get used to the cold weather again.
The trip was great! Seeing everybody again was wonderful and a lot of fun.
We visited with my Mom and my siblings in São Paulo as well as my Dad in Adolfo. We got to see a few friends, but most we didn't get to meet. Everytime we go, time seems to go by real fast.
The day we arrived, Vanessa, Guilherme and Felipe picked us up at the airport, with flowers! =o) Then, we spent the afternoon at my Mom's. She cooked delicious feijoada for us. Thank you very much! Next day we went for lunch with some of my friends from work, also some of Vanessa's friends. It was great to be able to see them again. Thanks for joining us =o) We also visited Guilherme's house and had Paulista pizza there! Uh huuuu! On Friday (I believe), we saw my friends Alexandre and Daniel, then, for dinner, we went to a 'churrascaria' Yummy! The weekend after after we visited Carlos (Vanessa's boyfriend) and got to see his new place, and also got to visit my friend Alexandre.
Then, on the weekend, we went to my Dad's house, just in time for Abram to go with Silvia to her prom. She was very beautiful and the party went nicely.
We spent Christmas at my Dad's and, oh boy, the kids got tons of gifts, from everybody. Their Cocoricó collection has grown (a lot) hehe.
Everything was wonderful. Seeing everybody, eating the foods that Benê and my Mom cooked for us. They cook very well, not like me. =o) Going to Rossi (a grocery store we went to several times haha), drinking Poty guaraná, walking through the street market, eating 'pastel', having ice-cream at Batista's shop and, the most important thing of this trip, letting Bianca and Thomas spend time with their family. How I wish we could all live closer. It was very special that they met (or saw again for Bianca) theirs grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousin Felipe, friends, in special Aline (she was born right around the time Bianca was, and they are very good friends).
I want to thank everybody for everything. Food, rides, (Felipe for letting us use his bedroom, Benê for the new mattresses), gifts, help with the children (including diaper changes hahaha that was nice break for me! hahahaha) and, the most important thing, THANKS FOR THE LOVE!
I am happy to be home, but honestly very sad to be away from my family. It is going to be weird for a few days. I will have to go to Waffle House and Freebirds to re-adapt hahahaha.
I really hope we can go again soon.
Thank God for a safe trip.
Happy New Year everybody.
Tati.
