Renato's Dad is one of 13 kids. He has 4 sisters and 8 brothers. We had a special get together to meet SOME of them. We went to the food court in the mall. I will try my best to say who they are, names...maybe. Picture this, a loud food court and then a whole bunch of people come up to you all at once and introduce themselves. I remember their faces and kind of know how they are related but that is my best. Plus the kids couldn't quite handle all the noise and action. They freaked out for a while.
The above picture is easy. This is the lovely Luciana she is Renato's older sister. She lives in Brazil with her little boy Davi. I have met her a couple of times!
Below is another easy one...this is Isaac my brother-in-law. He used to live with us and went with Renato and I on our first date!
Below is Renato's aunt Ana Virginia, she arranged the get together. The two boys on the side are Renato's cousins. They spoke really good English. She offered her house to us by a lake, but we didn't end up going. Thank you anyway.
I'm not even going to try! You can't see many of the faces anyway. This is part of the Fiuza family. There were 3 of the girls there, and I believe 2 brothers, plus spouses and cousins!
During the initial meltdown Anthony wanted a Coke. We got some food and drinks to hopefully calm him down. I turned around and saw this!
More cousins. Hopefully they will come visit us this winter, they said they want to ski in Utah!
This is an uncle. I'm pretty sure his name is Antonio. Such a good name. He showed us pictures of his 5 cute grandkids.
Another easy one! Renato and I, his mom Margarida, his stepmom Heline, and dad Luciano!
The Fiuzas are so nice and I wish we could have spent more time with them and got to know them a little better. Perhaps next time. Yes the next time!!
Since the boys weren't in car seats and the car we were driving didn't have an airbag we decided to let Anthony drive! We were in the parking lot of the resort and it was late. He thought it was the best thing ever! I thought it was cute.

I am SUPER jealous you went to Brazil (probably not as jealous as my sweet husband...he would give ANYTHING to go there) It looks like you had an incredible time! Love the pics, love you and hope to see you in a few weeks when I am down there!! YAY!!
You look so awesome Mel!!! You and Renato look so good together... handsome couple!! How fun to see all his family. So cool!! Love you!
Brazil looks fabulous. Anthony and Samuel are lucky to have so many relatives. I hope to meet them someday. I love the pictures. My favorite is of you and Renato and he is kissing you. What a great vacation. The pictures of the kids are so cute. Too bad the Fiuza family is so far away. Or too bad you are so far away. I also loved the 4 generations picture and the one with great grandma. Thanks, I enjoyed very much looking a the pictures. Love ya.
