In September, we went to Brasil to visit our family. We got to spend a lot of time with them and loved every minute of it.
We spent some time at the beach the first week we were there. Cida's (Emerson's mom) boss let us use her beach house which was in a beautiful, quiet area where there are hardly any tourists. There weren't a lot of people there, so it was really peaceful and quiet.
There's a mall near Cida's house where they had a play area, Ana Elisa had a blast there.
Ana Elisa loved playing at her Vo's (grandma's) house.
We had a barbecue at Emerson's uncle Marcos house. It was so fun to see everyone.
Four Generations!
We got to go see Emerson's dad, it was a fun afternoon.
Cida put a birthday party together for Ana Elisa. It was so fun, they went all out for it. It was a Shrek theme. Cida bought her a princess dress and made Emerson and I a Shrek and Fiona costumes for it.
We had a cake to celebrate Marco's birthday, he was a great sport and dressed up in Emerson's Shrek costume.
We're so glad to have been able to go. We miss everyone so much and hope to see them again really soon.
