Rachel (the "baba") & Claire & Me...On June 12, my parents had a Brazilian party at their house. It was SO FUN! Our dear friends from Recife, Brazil, Ana Marcia and Cleto Oliveira were in town on their way to serving as Mission Presidents of a mission in the central part of Brazil--I don't even remember the name of it, but it's near the capitol of Brasilia :)
I went with one of my best buds, Rachel, as her husband is in Iraq and mine was at work :) It was really funny though because when we came in, she was holding Claire...and anyone who would take Claire for a few minutes would always give her back to Rachel...so Rachel figured they thought she was the NANNY! :) (Which in Portuguese is: "baba"-accent on the last syllable)

Kika, her cute baby, Olivia, me, and Ana Marcia
We had so much fun reconnecting with the Oliveiras, and with the Jacksons, Carol Thomas, Elder & Sister Hillam, and the Jacox's we knew in Sao Paulo. And then one of our missionaries, JB Richards, in Recife, with his wife, and of course, Kika and Trevor - Kika, we knew from Recife, but she now is married and lives here and is one of my best friends in the world :)
My mom made "Feijoada," the typical black beans and rice dish, and we had mousse de maracuja (passion fruit mousse), pao de queijo (cheese rolls), and of course, Guarana to drink! It was heavenly!! Oh, and Kika made the best pudim (Brazilian pudding/flan type thing)...yummm...if you don't like the texture of flan, you'll like this kind! (in fact, Kiquinha, will you post the recipe on your blog??)
