KARAWYA!



Mama was planning for a party for me once I arrive to Jordan...My plan was to come here to Jordan on Dec. and have the party sometime after Adha Eid.

When I suddenly decided to go to Amman...She started planning for the party to be thrown sometime before Ramadan...so it was last Friday! It wasn't easy to get everything ready on time, and invite everyone in only one week...but it worked out perfectly! Hamdolillah, I couldn't be any happier to have all my special friends and relatives around me! I saw everyone I love in one day!! It was amazing...and it's still is!

Karawya is what my grandma prepared for the party...it was soooo yummy! And the chocolate basket looked soooo cute, it was made by my Uncle's wife...



Mariyah stayed awake during the party and was laughing and playing the whole time :)



The 1st grandchild in my family got all the attention that night...
