Week 15: Thanksgiving Dinner





We hosted several families for Thanksgiving dinner, including an American family that manages the LDS Church farm near Formosa. They had not been with other American kids in Brazil for about a year. Not all of the families we invited were able to make it for dinner, so we also had a desert social in the evening. In total, 51 people came to our home to share stories and eat food. I enjoyed hosting the event and seeing people relax and enjoy the company and activities. The kids played for hours in the pool and box fort and swinging on the hammock. The boys even convinced to me to light our brush pile on fire. The second fire we've set since moving in, and a lot less scary than the one we had during the dry season.
