Not only are we celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend but it's also the kick-off to Eid Al Adha holidays here. We went in search of ingredients to bake a pumpkin pie and happened upon a special set-up of women outside the supermarket offering Henna / Mehndi designs as part of Eid celebrations. Maëlle was immediately keen to get her hand painted.
She sat very still and even let it dry for about 15 minutes while I got mine done too to match! Originally planned to get Neko done but quickly realized it would get everywhere and turn into a big blob. There's no way she wouldn't want to touch it.
Neko made her own friends though while Maëlle and I were busy. She sat and snacked with these lovely ladies.
And the finished product...
So fun and a neat way to celebrate our Thanksgiving and our upcoming holidays. Looking forward to Doug having extra time off and an impromptu family trip to Dubai for a week.
