Eid Mubarak!

Eid Mubarak! We celebrated Eid on Tuesday. 

Traditionally there are two foods that are made in every home during eid, dates and sheerkuma. The dates are not the medjool dates but a dried version which we soak in water to replump and then cook in milk and then stuff with a sweet nut mixture. Sheerkuma is a milk based drink with chopped nuts, chopped dates and vermicelli.. mostly drunk warm but M and I like ours cold.  

Tuesday morning we went to the mosque for prayers and then after breakfast and a much craved cup of coffee we went to the movies.       

We went to watch the new Ghostbusters movie.. and when you go to the movies in the early afternoon on a weekday the tickets are not only cheaper but you get the whole place to yourself.

Then we hit the mall and let the kids go on a little shopping spree. Later that evening we got all dressed up and went out with our friends for dinner.

We ate at a local Turkish restaurant and I made a reel here if you want to check it out. 

On Eid the kids get money from the adults.. the boys decided to decorate the envelopes. 

Saturday morning we treated ourselves to breakfast.. gotta make up all that weight we lost right.. we did all lose weight and while I wouldn't mind keeping it off the boys all need to put it back on.

 

Saturday night we had dinner with family. No pictures. 

Sunday afternoon we had lunch at a friends house. 

and so we wrapped up our Eid celebrations.
