SOME pics from Doug and Heidi's visit

We got so many fun pictures when Doug and Heidi were here... so I couldn't miss getting some of them posted, emphasis on the some because there are many more. We went so many great places, it was a BLAST to show them around Portugal!

Cabo da Roca
Inside the Sao Jorge castle
Doug and Heidi in the Torre de Belem
At one of my favorite downtown resturantes, Amo-te (I love you)! Notice the heart shaped tosta, such a cute place!
At the Convento dos Capuchos, an incredible old convent that is lined in cork. It was our first time to visit this convent and we really enjoyed it!
At the Sporting game cheering on Mark's team! Don't worry Benfica fans I am still loyal, notice my pink scarf!:) The tickets were just cheaper! POIS!
I could go on and on but these are some great highlights! It was special for us to have family here and to show them around our home!

Halloween

We had a big Halloween party with our friends this year and it was a BLAST!!!
There were costumes, food, crafts,food, games and more FOOD! We made jack-o-lanterns, bobbed for apples, went trick or treating at the kitchen and all the bedroom doors:) Halloween isn't traditionally celebrated here so it was a fun excuse to have a BIG party! The day before I had some friends over for a tea party and we decorated the cupcakes for the Halloween party. It was as fun as the big party for me and the cupcakes came out SPOOKTACULAR!
It was a big night of Friends, Food and FUN! Can't wait for next year... I think next year we will have to include a costume contest so I better start planning now!!!
Happy Halloween!
