Eid 2010 plus Irfan's Birthday Bash

Mother and son on eid

This eid was rather quick yet a  lot of things happened at once. Some highlights of the month of Syawal:
We celebrated our eid at a new place, Wichita KS with close family and friends. Couldn't ask for a better celebration.
My family in Malaysia went to India to celebrate Eid with our beloved Munya huhu...
Irfan's birthday was on the 3rd Eid so Zuhri and  I decided to throw him a party and eid open house sekali. Senang, same food same crowd= save budget heheh.

Ok here's the panjang lebar version:
On the first raya, pegi solat raya at Wichita masjid, my first raya at a 'real' masjid since 2004. I didn't cook anything, so we ate Krispee Kream donuts which were equal to eating tart nenas la kot haha! Malam was open house at a student's place. The food was amazing, and variety of them..One of the best open house I have to say.

Second day, did a very looong shopping for Irfan's gift, birthday stuff and all the bahan for open house. Gem showed up about 6 PM and there were no food on the stove! Sorry Gem..Malam tu masak la few things: sambal goreng, cupcakes etc.

The next day we were up as early as 6:30, start masak roti jala, curry and nasi dagang. Perghhh..boleh tahan penat. The guests came about 1 PM semua makan nasi dagang je huhu since tu je yg ade, the rest of the food other folks yg bawak. By the time the rest of the crew datang nasi dagang pun habis.. aisey. Later was Irfan's birday bash. We lighted the candle and everybody sang to him. Wahhh punya la suka itu budak kecik sampai tak berhenti menyanyi, I think the guests have to sing 3-4 times of the bday song. Tak pernah nampak dia se happy tu.. you can look at the video at Zuhri's fb. I'm so glad I planned for the birthday.. one of the most amazing moments..
Irfan is two and the journey that we had with him so far has been nothing but amazing.. it's a truely blessed having him around: he's my lil helper, my sunshine in a gloomy day, my admirer who's always amazed by my beauty and silliness haha! At two, I think Irfan is a bit taller, mature and smarter than any othe kids at his age haha ni mak perasan berkata kata
He knows a lot of words, hundreds of them. Every time when I introduce something new to him he'll get excited. Anddd... he'll say 'hi' and 'bye bye' to that new object. For example..
Mama: "Irfan, look at the grass...it's grass"
Irfan: "Grass..grass...grass... hi grass...hi grass.."
Walking away....
Irfan: "Bye bye grass...bye bye grass"
