This Thanksgiving may have been one of the most "exotic" ones we've ever had! Starting with the taxi ride, followed by two subways, then ending with our friend picking us up at the subway to take us home in his car! The food was AMAZING - as Thanksgiving should be. Of course, there are something classics that aren't possible to have overseas, but it was fabulous none the less. (I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the feast!)
My parents arrived on Wednesday night! What a amazing reason to be Thankful. They've come to be in Brazil the entire holiday season. Just in time for Thanksgiving. For Christmas we'll be at my grandmother's house. It's been a dream of my moms for a long time for our family to gather with my extended family. This year, we get to do so!
Also another reason to be thankful is the
Matthews family. We came across them online while preparing to move to Brazil. They are missionaries here in the Eastern part of Sao Paulo. Since moving here, we've developed a sweet friendship with this family. We were so grateful for the invitation to spend Thanksgiving with them.
There are hundreds of things I could list here on the thankful list, but in the interest of time, I'll end with being thankful for the camera mom and dad brought us! Enjoy the pictures!
