Arabian Par-tay

Since my dear husband and I share the same birthday, we have a favorite tradition of having a homemade middle eastern meal every year for our family birthday dinner. Everyone chips in and it turns out to be one FABULOUS, finger-licking amazing meal of samboosas, hummus, tabouleh, falafel, pitas, rice....and, of course, baklava! Annie added in some essential chocolate with her rasberry cheesecake pie. Oh, it was worth it to turn 28 (and 31) just for this. :)


baklava & raspberry pie cakes

tablecloths make great arabian bandanas (this is what happens after too much baklava)

mmmmm....good!

rare arabian monkey tried to steal more baklava

stuffed, lazy parents let their children swim in their clothes

So CUTE! Kais...you look so beautiful! I would welcome age if I were you, because you only get better with it! Your husband is an incredibly lucky man!
