Our Christmas night was so good! We usually have a lot of presents because everybody gives at least one gift for each other member of the family(although some years were hard and only the kids could get them, but the fun and love were the same). We never cared for expensive gifts, just things that showed our love and care. This year was over the top though, because even our older nieces and nephews wanted to give somthing for everybody. That`s why the tree looks so piled up!
Since my older siblings were little kids, my mom has the habit of taking the children to one of the bedrooms while gathering the presents under the tree, then someone would say "ho ho ho!" with a deep voice and the door wuold be opened and we, kids, would see what Santa left for us. Mom still does so, and Lucas, Maria Clara and Bruna (the oldest grandchild, who was sick, porr sweetie, but she`s fine now) could hardly wait to see the magic once more.
It was a beautiful night, with joy, laughter, fun and a little prayer for our Dede. My mother`s sound of laughter was priceless.
Tomorrow we are going to Minas Gerais at 1 pm. It will take me some time to have Internet connected, so I`ll be offline. I`ll get online once or twice a week at a lan house as soon as possible, though, in the meantime, to post photos showing how things are going and how the house`s construction is progressing.
Thank you all very much for the lovely words of support! I do wish you all a wonderful New Year night, and I hope we keep our friendship along the next year and further more. See you soon!!!

Oh, what fun pictures! I love the one of you and your mom especially! WOW! What a pile of presents! LOL!
The granny-square afghan on the couch is so cute -- reminded me of my grandmother's house, so cozy & everything handmade & nothing wasted, not even a bit of yarn. Love it!
Have a lovely, lovely New Year.
Wonderful photos, Nydia! So much fun to see your family and what a beautiful celebration you all had together. That one of you & your mom together is just fantastic!
I'm sorry to hear you won't have much internet access for a while, I miss reading your posts and "chatting" between blogs! It's not the same without you around. But I'm very excited that you are getting closer to moving into your new home and I can't wait to see pictures of how everything is progressing!
Have a wonderful & Happy New Year! Wishing you lots of peace, love, and prosperity!
