Eid Mubarak!!

Eid Mubarak!!!! (belated)

Eid is the celebration that marks the end of the month of Ramadan and the beginning of a new month. I had an awesome awesome Eid!! My parents hosted an entire day Eid party for the rest of our family and relatives. We had four lavish meals - breakfast, lunch, tea time, and dinner! It was great, even though, by dinner time we were pretty stuffed. My mom usually makes the Eid feasts, but had it catered for this Eid, and it was almost as good at my mom's food! It turned out to be convenient, because the whole preparing/cooking hassle was eliminated, and the cleaning afterwards was a quick job. I had prepared goody bags stuffed with chocolate and candy, and handed those out to all my little cousins. It was pretty late by the time everyone left, but the little cousins were having a blast, so decided to sleep over, except they didn't sleep until after the crack of dawn! And I ended up staying up for a good chunk of the night with them. The next day we headed over to my aunt and uncle's, who hosted a more low-key, day two of Eid. All in all, Eid was great.

It just didn't do much good for my waist line.
