This afternoon, after working all morning, I headed off to a friends baby shower with my sister. This lady is not a close, close friend, but I used to work with her and my sister, Allie, still works with her, so I thought it was sweet she invited me. She’s an Iraqi lady and she is the sweetest ever!
Allie had told me that there would be over 100 people there, I didn’t believe her. But she was right, 120 people. Of course the Iraqi community is huge, so there was lots of family and close family friends. They are the most friendly and lovely people! They all cooked up a storm, both sweet and savoury foods. Allie and I, two out of four non-Iraqi’s, felt out of place at the beginning, but we knew a few people there and they were just such fun. We laughed and chatted the whole time!
I loved watching the elder ladies with the children and newborn babies, their facial expressions are priceless so full of joy and love. I wish I had taken my camera with me, the shots would have been better than any Hallmark card. Their faces, not my photography.

You should have seen her present table, it was huge!! The decorations; flowers and balloons, were beautiful too! I even stole one at the end.. haha. It has dummy’s and a baby bottle in it, so cute.

Now we have Dylan and Nat on their way over for pizza and some drinks. Not good for the diet, but I’ll only have 1-2 pieces of pizza and some pepsi max (point free).
I haven’t done any studying for exams today, so that’s tomorrow’s chore!
