Sorry it took so long but we've been doing so much and Lily has to drive to her all the way to her dad's house to use a computer that can upload the pictures. Christmas was so much fun! all of the traditions are very different here even though the basis is the same.


I'm in the Chrismtas tree!

This was the dinner table before we messed it up with all the yummy food. It's such a fancy setting (but that's because Lily's Aunt is a fancy person!)

This is a tradition originally started in England, but popular in much of Europe  and some Americans like to have Christmas Crackers too. Each person pulls on one end and whoever ends up with the biggest piece gets the prizes inside (little games and a paper hat). Lily's boyfriend pulled one with me, but he won the prize.

This time the lights were on and it was so pretty; but it made me dizzy... 

Can you find me? A tradition in Lily's family is Gram (her grandmother) giving all the children and grandchildren their first nutcracker. She travels a lot, so some of these are from ALL over! I hope to go there too.

Christmas was lots of fun, and so different than Brazil. Lily says this week we might go across a state border and then we'll go to Spindletop! It was the first Oil Booming town of Texas and Texas is famous for oil. I'm excited!!
