It's funny, normally when I talk about having a big party weekend I mean all night dancing...this big party weekend there was no dancing involved, just Thanksgiving, early Christmas and Cael's 1st birthday party three days in a row. And that's not even to mention the days of shopping, prepping, cleaning the house and cooking. I have to say it was a great weekend, full of good food and new friends and laughter. And it was even a little exhausting like a good all night dance party. Well, not quite the same, but close. A few photos of the fun...

Liana & Alvaro & Cael celebrated Christmas early since they'll be in Tahoe for the real deal.


It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...

Santa Claus (or Papai Noel as he's referred to here) came to town early in Rio and has had to weather many a rain storm at his post in front of the grocery store...
