Every June in Brazil - especially where I am from, in the Northeast part of the country - there is a folkloric party/celebration called São João (Saint John). I forgot where it all came from but we dress kinda like "hicks" and eat mainly foods made of corn, like corn cake, corn puddin, corn soup, corn every-freakin-thing! It's AWESOME!
Because there is a bigger Brazilian community in Utah than one would sometimes like to imagine, some of my friends (the good Brazilians, ha!) organized our own São João party and here are some pics. Yes, you are authorized to laugh at us, it was on purpose that we tried to look as insane as possible!
Me and Rebecca, she organized the party and it was at her house.
She's due next week!
Rebecca's mom who brought a lot of yummie stuff from Brazil!
I seriously ate till I could eat no more! :)
I offered to bring fruit salad. :)
The pretty gals!
The handsome fellas!
Ain't we cute?!
There's a lot of dancing at São João parties...
And even babies get all dressed up :)
All of us, it was so much fun!
I think I should just adopt this look every day. What do you say? :)
