Open House

Hari Raya is the time to take family photos. Go into any Bruneian household and you will always find a family portrait taken during Hari Raya usually in matching outfits. The last time my family attempted this impossible task was three years ago and it was not a success. We did not attempt it this year but we did manage to get all ten grandchildren together which in itself is a miracle! Not a masterpiece but considering the age range, having them all smiling and looking at the camera qualifies.
Jack was very proud to be wearing his new hat especially with matching outfits. Donncha did well for the day considering he hadn't eaten properly in 48 hours while travelling from India. Ayden as usual was all smiles throughout the day.

Iman made a trip to the hairdressers with cousin Zahra and came back with beautiful curls and sparkles in her hair. It helped to lighten her mood after a bad start to the day. Visitors wise, Iman had more friends come round than us and that's something we're going to have to get used to.
