New Years was Brazilian this year. Brazil narrowly beat out Russia, for those who are curious! LOL We did some research, and our meal was pretty delicious. We did Brazilian bean croquettes which were so good we will definately make them again--Brazilian rice which was only so-so, and Brazilian sweet muffins for dessert. That recipe is a keeper too! We finished reading our memories of the year. We did our trivia game and had a blast. (I tend to do a lot of true false type questions and do the how many think true vs false which evens out the odds of getting something correct for the littles.
The bottom picture is the paper boats with white flowers that we "set sail" with our wishes for the new year. Brazilian legend has it that if the boats sink our wishes will come true. Small people keep anxiously checking the boats to see if they need to be helped along to the watery deep.
No New Years celebration is complete without fireworks, right? So we save up our bubble wrap and the kids jump on it wildly (heavy emphasis on WILDLY) making lots of fire work type noises.
Happy New Year everyone!
