M is for Mormons & Muslims.

(14 October 2011)

As many of you know, our awesome neighbors and friends, Kate & Steve, moved in July while we were in Utah. We were so sad to come home to their apartment being empty. Thankfully they haven't forgotten about us and even made it a point to come and visit all of us at Park Forest while driving through to Georgia ;0) We decided to plan a big "neighbor party" for the night they were in town. It was so great to see them and for our new neighbors (Taylor & Martha and Nelli----who we love. How do we bless out with such great neighbors?) to mix and mingle with everyone.

(Kate had that little man laughing within seconds of her arrival. Too cute!)

We had a potluck BBQ (well Azhar brought most of the food. Delicious.), had s'mores, celebrated all the Summer birthdays (thanks to Alaa!) AND finished off the evening by dressing in Muslim attire and taking pictures. Oh what good times! Brie was learning the letter M that day and during the evening someone pointed out jokingly that M is for Mormons and Muslims. Perfect :0) Oh how I love our neighbors. We really did bless out!

Sounds like you have a movie on your hands! The last picture is awesome. I love cultural exchanges.
