We went to a party for Ayyam-i-Ha at my friend's house. I am not sure how to spell their names...but they are Hailey and Eliyana...and I love them. We played, and ate, and met people, and learned about Ayyam-i-Ha! It was fun! Not every one there was a Baha'i either. It was a celebration for all of our friends!!!
This is what Ayyam-i-Ha is for those who don't know!!!
Baha'is celebrate the festival of Ayyam-i-Ha each year from sunset on Feb. 25 to sunset of March 1 as a preparation for the Fast, which begins March 2 and ends March 20. During Ayyam-i-Ha, members of the Faith perform acts of charity, give gifts to friends and family, and attend social gatherings.
Baha'u'llah has said of Ayyam-i-Ha: "It behoveth the people of Baha, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name."

Too funny! My ex in-laws are in these photos - I didn't realize they lived that close to you. (Kamran & Relleen)
Thanks as always for posting pics - I love seeing them!
