Eid seems like it was a million years ago... in reality, though, it was about three weeks ago. Because of illness, we didn't do the travelling we had planned to do. The night before Eid, our neighbors came down with gifts for us. Ellie got a cute little outfit (which she wore for her birthday party the next week), Franklin got a shirt, and I got an orna. They asked Franklin to sing and play his guitar for them. Then the daughters from upstairs put henna on Ellie's and my hands. So fun.
The next day, on the actual Eid day, I made cinnamon rolls for us and our neighbors, even though that isn't the traditional Eid breakfast food here. :) Then for lunch we dressed up and went upstairs and had lunch with them. Then they had us over for tea later and we ate the most delicious shemai (a sweet dessert-type food made with vermacelli noodles) ever created on the face of the earth! Yum.

That shemai sounds delicious! Elliama has a lot of patience to sit through a mendi application=)
