Ella, Pedro Henrique, and Luciana

Christmas is celebrated on Dec. 24 in Brazil and in many Latin American countries. So we had a big party on Christmas Eve and exchanged gifts and then family members that had driven from their homes stayed over. The next day we spent watching the kids play with their presents and eating together and relaxing. This photograph is of Ella, her mom Luciana, and her cousin Pedro Henrique playing in the living room.
