Naw-Ruz Celebrations - Part 1

Last Saturday, 21 of March 2009, was Naw-Ruz, our Baha'i New Year!
We went to this huge celebration organised by the Baha'i Community of West Torrens.

Lots of people turned out and we were seated for a 3 course dinner and enjoyed the live Baha'i Rock-Band 'Hidden Cords'.
After the dinner, the party started with Persian beats and guess who was the first one to open the dance floor? Yep! Mona naturally!!!

Mona really had a ball... she was just like a little bunny, running around and jumping around.
She kept on dancing all night long, and dance with I think almost everyone!!!

She jumped around so much (at one point I had to asked the organisers to intervene and to get her off the stage and to stop jumping therefrom!!), she was so up the roof, that at the end of the party, she got physically sick... poor thing, I think the chocolate cake and lime soda didn't mix well with all the jumping she was doing!!

But all in all, we had a great time and saw some lovely friends that we haven't seen in a long long time.

Here are some pictures of the party:

Dinner time, at some point during dinner, Mona decided that she was a big girl now and could go sit next to her cousin Negin (because she doesnt need my help anymore to eat her dinner!!!)

And last but not least, some dancing shots!!
