Maher's Birthday

Maher's birthday is always an excellent excuse for Amber to get us all together. First there was the kid party at Chucky Cheese where Anisa, Jeff and I also participated in the games and then it was time to go to Amber's house where she had prepared an amazing dinner. Uncle Bobby, Aunty and Harry joined us there, and then Shelley finally arrived from Canada after a long journey (mostly at the airport). Amber cut her birthday cake as well. Afterward we went to Uncle Bobby's house for the night and a traditional breakfast of halwa poori. Most excellent.

Uncle and Aunty busy at breakfast while Jeff snacks away. The breakfast was awesome. And then we got kebab sandwiches for the road. They were just fantastic. Aunty now uses ground turkey, and I must say, those were better than the beef ones.
