Those who have followed us for a while might remember how we spent a Portuguese Christmas here in Tucson two years ago with our friends. Since they were going back to their families this year, we spent a week with them when they came back. It was a week of baking (Mathilde and I really miss having an oven!) and playing inside. Our friend wondered why our girls didn't want to be outside, especially since the weather was perfect (Tucson summers are awefully hot), but I reminded him that our girls are ALWAYS outside, so getting to spend time inside, in a house, with new toys, was just what they wanted.

We juiced, ate and celebrated with them. It was a simple week, filled with good moments and interesting conversations. And two adorable little boys.
