It was a longer feast than usual and i must admit that Mona was pretty much well-behaved for 3/4 of the time. She was talking in her low voice like we told her to, whispering, even though we had to remind her to keep her voice down, but she did a good job at it. We kept her busy with a drawing book and colored pencils and some snacks. After 1 hour though, she started acting up and didn't want to stay quiet, so I took her out for a bit and she ran and jump around for a bit till she got tired i think, then we went back inside and she was good again and when she saw the oranges on the refreshment table, she couldn't wait anymore... 'Mona hungry' she said when she saw the food on the table! lol...
During the feast, we remembered the dear friends in Iran who are prison because of their Faith and belief, and organised a special devotional meeting for them in our community. We read and discuss the message of Ridvan from the Universal House of Justice, shared news of activities that are happening in our community and I got to shared a bit about our first Baha'i Toddler Devotional and Playgroup, among other things.
So about the lemons you ask, well, we have a lemon tree in our backyard and it has been giving lots and lots of yummy lemons lately, so much that I didn't know what to do with them.
We gave lemons to our family members each week, but there are still plenty left and too much for me to use in daily cooking (all of my cooking now contains lemon juice! lol).
I wanted to prepare some lemon biscuits or lemon bars to bring to the feast, but i didn't have enough time to do it, so I though i will just bring the lemons to the feast for people who want to take some home.
The lemons went like hot cakes!! I was happy and so were the friends!!
