Things have been bubbling already with Christmas<\/strong> preparations\u2026 We \u00a0have agreed on a one person giving a present to the other, which in our near family of 12 makes sense to avoid over spending and waste. We held a raffle for the names and now it will be a surprise to know who got who to give a present to. We also agreed on a cap on the value of the presents.
\nFrom Portugal<\/strong> we received news from Emanuel and Mandy that they are enjoying their stay there and studies are going well although that keeps them rather busy. They also visited some of our relatives there, and enjoyed some of the best in Portuguese hospitality.<\/p>\n

We finally made it to the dentist appointment, one and half hours later.<\/p>\n
