we had a very different christmas this year, missing my family and friends, but it was nice to have a quiet one and certainly less stressful than usual – i tried the 4 gift approach with julia (something to wear, something to read, something she really wants, something she needs), needless to say her favourite gift were the m&m’s she had been dreaming about for months ♡

ps – we took this picture last week when we were visiting julia’s granmother in southern california,  i liked the background because it reminds me of portuguese tiles – it almost looks like a first day of school picture :)
