I got to come back to SD for a visit and it has been so great to spend time with friends and family! The weather has been quite the shock to my system to say the least. The first day I arrived, SD greeted me with 7 degree weather. YIKES!!! Coming from Summer time in Brasil it has been quite the adjustment. Layering up with lots of sweaters etc has been my means of survival! :)
My greatest gift of being home has been to meet my sweet niece Gwyneth, she is such a doll and such a happy baby! It has been so much fun to get to know her, and spend some precious time with her! She brightens my day, so much fun to be around and see her smile!

After 7 years, I finally got to spend Thanksgiving at home with family, it was such a blessing!! Don't think the food has ever tasted so good. It was so special to be able to share moments of thankfulness from our year, and really enjoy our time together, every moment seemed so special. I missed Bruno terribly, and at moments it was a tearful day for me, him not being able to share in this day, but it was such a gift. Family means so much, especially after seeing so many boys who aren't able to have such a loving/caring family. It means that much more to me, it opens my eyes to see how very blessed I am!
Alijah had a thanksgiving program at his school, He invited my Mom and I to go. It was pretty special to me to be able to be here, and a part of his special day at school! They sang a couple songs for us and then we got to eat pumpkin pie. He did such a great job!!
I've had such a wonderful time so far! I look forward to making some Christmas memories, making cookies, enjoying the lights, and music before I return home to Brasil. These memories have been so sweet and I'm so thankful for this time with family and friends!!
