Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to my Muslim readers. We went back to Penang pre-Raya Haji coz we know that the traffic will be so crazy (hello, we were stuck in the traffic last year for nearly 9 hours). Plus we had to go back for my nieces' birthday bash last Saturday. Took the Friday off for a long weekend coz I didn't want to take Monday off like many people would do for a long stretch of holiday up till Raya Haji. So, to create the semangat of Raya Haji at home, hubby and myself cooked some yummy raya food alongside an awesome homemade cheesecake. The in-laws came over to celebrate with us. And we even got ourselves some duit raya. Yay!

And being all excited with his bunny

Our menu consists of:

Telur 'Menantu' (masak pedas)

Rendang Daging 

+

Rendang Ayam (without photo, accidentally missed it)

 Lemang and Nasi Impit

Kuah Kacang 

Nasi Minyak 

Ayam Masak Merah 

Homemade Cheesecake 

Tadaaaaaa...

So last night, after getting some needed rest haha we brought Alex to Toys R Us for some family shopping time. There are heaps of toys for his age, we didn't know which one to choose. Don't make me start on the price.  

And on the way out, we got Alex to sit in this for a photo.

He seems to like it. :) Good boy!

Just like his daddy.

 

And when we got home, he was so happy to try out his new toy. 

It's the small things, really!

Happiness.
