Sam's preschool class put on a celebration complete with show this evening for the Brazilian festival known as Festa Junina. A celebration of the nativity of St. John the Baptist. It is an annual winter celebration, held outside or under thatched roofs, the dress, food and music and games are all representative of rural Brazilian culture. And the dancing, oh the dancing! Each class took to the stage to Brazilian country music and square danced, jumped around and waved their tiny hands all dressed in cowboy-like attire, with painted on mustaches, goatees, freckles, straw hats and pigtails. Others (read: Sam) stood still (adorably still I might add) searching the crowd for his us, then smiled nervously throughout the rest of his much anticipated performance. It was quite possibly the most perfect and wonderful thing I have ever seen, dancing or no dancing. Peter spied Sam on stage and was overcome with his fame, pointing and saying 'Bi Bra' (Big Brother) through the rest of the performance. There was a huge spread of treats and drinks and Sam played a couple of games, both of which he won and we ended the night with a pizza dinner out and frozen yogurt to celebrate the celebration.
I, of course, dressed them both up, because WAY TO CUTE. Enough said. This picture melts my heart into a puddle of love.
