Sabse Borani (Spinach Yogurt Dip) with Noni Afghani (Afghan Flatbread), Burani Bonjon (Spicy Braised Eggplant) topped with Seer Moss (Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce) and Kabeli Palau (Afghan Rice with Chicken & Carrots). We made Firnee (Cardamom & Rose Water Custard) for dessert.
The scariest one of them all!
No party this year due to Coronavirus!
Invasion of the Garden Gnomes! A fun costume with the greenscreen.
Mona and Ellie were both fairies this year – they definitely planned this one! They had fun showing off their wings!
After our Star Trek cruise earlier this year, we had to wear Star Trek costumes for the party!
This was the second year in a row that Mona and Eleanor had matching costumes (I think they planned this!)
Our friends Jim & Linda borrowed our dog, Lily to round out their costumes as Doc Martin and Morwenna.
Sharknado was our theme, including floating sharks and barbies in the hot tub!
Our granddaughter Eleanor and our coworker Mona both dressed as black cats – they had a blast posing together!
And a happy tree lives over here with a squirrel. No mistakes, only happy little accidents. Bob Ross and his painting come to life 🙂
Medieval themed costumes for the family this year. This was also the first year using a green-screen for the photos – much fun and creativity was had!
For Darren & Denise’s party, we wore matching skeleton costumes with hoods, so it took people a bit to figure out who we were 🙂
