*los vecinos

It's been hard to meet a lot of friends in the 2 years we've been here. Two sets of neighbors though have proven to be some of our closest friends. We were invited over for a nice dinner last night which turned out to be a little belated birthday for Ben as well as an *almost* done with the semester and really just a great time. Vera sat in her little booster seat entertaining herself [and others] with spatulas, noodles and laughing/making faces at everyone for at least an hour. Usually if we have dinner with them, I go put her to bed and then we switch off hanging out/keeping watch. This time we put her to bed in their guest room [a pac-n-play for their little baby on the way...] and got to stay out like a normal couple until past 11:00!! This is huge. Anyway, we had a great time eating some delicious food, drinking wine and tequila, playing a heated game of Jenga and just enjoying a night with friends: a very rare occurence these days.




Ben had ordered an apple pie for his birthday dinner which I finally made for last night.... mmmm it was worth the wait :)
