Hey family...just thought I'd let you know that Natal Luz (Christmas Light) started last night in Gramado. It really is beautiful! Also, the hortensias are starting to bloom, so they should be in full bloom by Christmas week. Our lizards are giving us quite the show here this year, so Tres, don't worry...that means NO SNAKES!!! We are really excited about hosting you all. We hope that all your expectations can be met, so if there are any more, please let us know ASAP! We are thinking that one day you can do the tour of the Chain of Love, one evening we would like to take you all to Garfo e Bombacha (a churrascaria with a gaucho dance performance). For New Year's Eve, we would like to do a big camp out at the sitio...pure family time!!! Should be fun! Have a great day everyone! Dwayne and Scott are back tonight, so back to routine tomorrow!

Love, Patsy
