So last year was my first Raya as a wife, this year is my first as a mother. An entire different experience, I must say. Baby boss had stranger anxiety on the first two weeks of Hari Raya and totally refused anyone coming near her, not even those who are passing her duit raya. She'd scream the moment Danna or I leave her sight. Tiring is an understatement when she just wants to cling on her parents and that means I have little time to sit and catch up with my cousins :(
But despite all that, it was a great experience for Danna and I. We enjoy seeing Mini being herself among kids her age (apparently that's the only time we can leave her by herself - when she has other friends around her!). & we sure had fun visiting our friends and family whom we don't get to see often!
As usual first house to visit would be my grandparents’ house. Our first Hari Raya without Atok. No one mentioned about it but I know we can all feel it in the air. :/
But one thing stays the same, new wallpaper every year for that house lulz. My cousins and I had so much fun doing our lil photoshoot around the house :p
Talking about wallpapers we also added one for our master bedroom and living room....
Issit new backdrop for OOTD? WE SO LUV IT.
Mini and Mama matchy outfits from Ariani.
I didn't want to alter the length of her skirt so I made her wear just her top. Purrrfect like a dress.
Selfie with my cousins! So glad I get to see all of them on the first day unlike last year.
My current favourite picture of us :D
Bliss beraya!
Okay I am reading through my past years Syawal in a Nutshell entries and realise this year's is sooo.. mundane in comparison lol. (blogged here) But I did manage to dig up some pics taken at the same spot on the same date. Every first Syawal for the past four year...
2015 : Our very first raya together. We got engaged 7 months before, just 4 months after getting to know each other 😛
2016 : Last raya as singles. Already got the keys to our house and our reno started on the 1st Syawal.
2017 : First raya as married couple! No more halal gap 😂 & I entered my third trimester on the 1st Syawal
2018 : First raya with our firstborn.
Alhamdulillah for everything ♡
xoxo, N
