Happy Eid Everyone!

Happy Eid! I hope the past Ramadan was filled with blessings for everyone. Finally I will be able to look at food again and actually bake them during the day (and post post post!). As a gift from me to you, please help yourself to some delicious sweets from any one of these baskets we made.

These were the two baskets we made. Since I like you for liking my blog, you are allowed to take one from each. The one on the left consists of goodie bags filled with chocolate, chocolate covered raisins, and sugar cookies. The one on the right is filled with more chocolate, chocolate covered raisins, and sugar cookies.

These bags are great for the kids (and a great way to keep the house clean). I'm going to be nice (again) and let you take as many as you want!

We made these cute bag labels that have different Eid blessings written on them. 

There's one for you, one for you, and one for you.

Moon and stars shaped sugar cookies with drizzled chocolate and sprinkles. Hurry up and eat them before I do!

 

I hope you're not full, because you have to eat something from this basket too. We made moons and stars chocolate, and added the Hijri year 1432. Those are too cute to eat. I hope you enjoyed your Eid sweets!

Red, Pink, and Orange Anniversary Party

The theme for this anniversary party was red, pink, and orange, keeping it elegant and fun at the same time. This was a wonderful surprise for our parents, and a great family gathering.We also made a family slideshow that started off with the family baby pictures and ended with.... well what our lives ended up to be after these 24 for years of being a family. This day will definitely be remembered, the food, decorations, slideshow, and a dinner gift card were the perfect combination to make our parents happy on their anniversary!

The dining table was covered with brown table cloth and a pink table runner. Handmade pink, orange, and red felt roses were used as the centerpiece. Around them, candles and pearls were used, keeping the table elegant.

Handmade pink, red, and orange felt roses with pearls.

What's on the menu? Chocolate covered apples, carrot cake, cheesecake, and heart shaped chocolate lollipops. And of course, everything was homemade :)

Hmm is that an envelope? What's a better anniversary gift than a dinner for two at the Mövenpick Hotel!

This is the family subway art that we made, for them to keep, but for me to steal :)
