The first two days of Idul Fitri has officially ended yesterday. But the full stomach is still a little bit aching from over eating too many devilishly fingerlicking food. We had endless opor ayam, beef rendang, Padang fried chicken, dendeng balado, meat balls with noodles and also soto ayam. Not to mention to Idul Fitri typical home made snacks and cakes such as srikayo ketan, kaastengel, nastart, putri salju (snow white), cheese cakes, double chocolate cakes and many others. Yummy!

We started different ritual this year. Mika and Pascal are now big enough for hubby to take them for Ied praying. My youngest brother, who is going to get married next month, also went with them. I was told that it went pretty well. Pascal did drink bottle milk during the preach but altogether he behaved very good and follow the praying without a fuss.

And then we went to my Mom’s house for morning meals, then my Mother in Law’s house for noon meals. The day after, we went to my Mother in Law’s house again. This time to take my Mom and brothers to meet my Mother in Law. And we went to my Grandmother’s house as yesterday’s final destination.

As happened every year, we met with relatives whom we meet only once or twice a year. It was merry and wonderful and I took a lot of pictures this time. 10 years from now, I want to be able to look into these pictures and recall the big family we have.

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1429 H
