But before we left, Grace and I had a little project. We made our first gingerbread house. We had a lot of fun and I think it turned out pretty good. In fact, it's still standing!
Grace had a Thanksgiving Feast at her school which was really fun. The kids dressed up as pilgrims and native americans. I found this great costume on-line after Halloween!
And then it was off to Massachusetts. We had a very easy time traveling during such a busy time. Our flights left early and arrived early. Unfortunately we brought a not-so-nice gift to Bruno's family - Abby's cold and we all ended up getting it. But, despite the coughs, scratchy throats and runny noses... we had a wonderful time. Bruno's family is so hospitable - his mom is such a huge help to me. And Maurilia and Victor are so generous with Grace and Abby. We are so blessed and thankful that we have such a wonderful family that gets along so well.
We went to the Providence Children's Museum one day which was so much fun!
And we were able to celebrate a monumental ocassion for Bruno's parents - their 40th wedding anniversary! We went out to a fabulous Portuguese restaurant - Sagres in Fall River. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the time together!
Then we went back to Maurilia and Victor's for a fabulous cake and champagne. Maurilia and Victor bought this cake - I wish I could have bottled the vanilla smell from this cake - it was devine and delicious too!
The girls all had so much fun together!
Abby wore this hat from Auntie almost the whole day!
What a wonderful vacation!

We loved spending time with all you! Ava still sometimes says on the way to Nana & Vovo's "Abby and "Ace". We had a great holiday! Hope to see you soon.
SO that's where you've been and what you've been doing! Having a wonderful & delicious time visiting family! Good for you.
Congrats to your in-laws!
