Christmas and New Years

Since we are so far away from our family in the southeast we knew we wanted to celebrate with our family here. Christmas eve we drove to the big city to spend 8 nights with our dear friends. The big city life is fun and exciting especially when most people who normally live there are gone to the beach. So we kinda had the city to ourselves. Except for New Years Eve when 2 million people came out to ring in the new year on Avenida Paulista. Thankfully we were not there, but with some fellow brothers and sisters. We were having so much fun we didn't even know it was midnight until we heard the sound of millions of fireworks. So cool to see the vastness of skyscrapers being lit up by beautiful flashes of colors.
