Selamat Hari Raya!! Well the month of Ramadan is over, and we had a great time celebrating Hari Raya which is the celebration feast at the end of the fasting month. Our muslim friends had open houses and served us some amazing food. As you can see, we all wore the traditional Malay clothes . . . we even found one for Eli this year. The outfit for girls is called the Baju Kurung and the clothing that the guys wear is the Baju Melayu. Hope you enjoy the pictures! Here is Gabby in her adorable purple baju kurung. (Hey Kayla, look at her flip-flops . . . they are one of the pairs you sent, they matched perfectly, thanks!!)

Gabby and Daddy, what a cute pair they make!

Eli, the little man . . . his pants were a bit long =+) Cute smile though!

Gabs is really growing up way too fast! Daddy's little girl.

And . . . the always great looking couple, my brother and his wife =+)

A family photo . . . we took this before we went out for three open houses in a row, the first was at noon to 2, then we went to a second one from 3 to 6, then the third on from 7 to 9. It was a long day and the kids didn't have any naps . . . but hey; I didn't have to cook, the food was amazing, Gabs and Eli were really great all day, and we had so much fun spending time with our friends.

Little man is becoming quite the thumb sucker, he still only sucks it when nervous or tired . . . but it is quite the habbit.

My little man and little lady . . . I am so glad that they are mine, what a joy they bring into my life!!

Just the ladies =+)

These pics were a few days ago, we had some fun with popsicles after dinner one night . . . here is Gabby, she is such a perfectionist, making sure not to drip. What a doll!

Thinking hard about this bite.

Eli on the other hand just dives in face first . . . the messier the better!

It that cold little man? Oh ya, Eli just cut his 8th tooth.

Andy decided that he wanted to steal the camera from me and take some pictures of the "picture taker" . . . so here I am =+)

Gabs and I, enjoying each other, she's my little buddy.

Thanks for checking out the blog, it means so much . . . love you all.
