Our friends, Tracy and Ali, visited for a couple of days over Christmas. Ali had cooked an astonishing amount of Persian food to share, and he and David got the barbecue going after some encouragement, so we enjoyed kebab in addition to a dish made with beef loin. They had also brought an eggplant and lamb dish which we enjoyed the second night of their visit.

I took a couple of videos, one of their son Bijan singing a prayer, and one of Ali singing a prayer as well. I'm having a hard time loading things to YouTube today, but when I get them set up, I'll share them. The family joined Laurel's family, and my son, as well as Andrea and her son Mitchell and niece Emily, for a trek through the museum.

Good times.
