The other night after a great day of beach, fresh bread, kayaking, belly laughing, UNO and so much more, I was thinking how awesome my older nieces and nephews are. I know the original Mana Lana & Bonnit are not here, but you are include in this comment. It is so lovely to see what great people they have grown up to be. They are all so funny, smart and have such gentle souls. Not only were they SO good with the little ones, but they are also so gorgeous to their vovo.  And when you’re having a difficult time getting back on your kayak they come to your rescue. Not to mention they kick a#$ at beer pong.

The main reason we came back during the American summer rather than Christmas time was to go on our somewhat annual family holiday. One of my favorite things to do (& Fabiana’s too) is take photos. Not only do we always end up with some classic shots, but looking back on the photos we can see how the kids have grown up. With all of us spread all over the world it is a very special time for us to reconnect. Having these photos will bring us all a bit closer when while we wait for next year. Enjoy them here.
