Valentina's 2nd Birthday Party Part 1

Renata's daughter Valentina's birthday is June 16th, but Renata moved the party up we could be there for it. Renata, Raquel, and a couple of their aunts worked tirelessly to prepare treats and decorations for the party.  Below are some shots of the treats and decorations set up at the church before the bash started.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some Pictures from Brazil

Raquel and the girls spent 3 weeks with Pedro, Renata, Valberth and Valentina, and Neil joined them for about a week and a half.  Some pictures from our time there.

Here's Valentina watching her dad in one of his favorite poses.

 And Pedro with 3 of his 4 grandchildren in the hammock with him.

Julia and Valentina both enjoyed spending time together.  Slurping frosty sticks . . . 

Or just walking around in circles together.

We spent a few days at Raquel's Uncle Marcos' house by the ocean and got down to the beach the last day.  Julia really enjoyed being at the beach.

 

 

 The place where we had lunch had a nice little pool for the girls to play in.

Photos at the Beach

While Raquel and the girls were in Brazil, they spent some time at the beach and Renata had a photographer shoot some pictures of everyone.

Here are all of the cousins together.  On the left is Sara, Eduardo's daughter, and on the right is Valentina, Renata's daughter.
