We had a beautiful day. I talked with most of my family on the phone, to wish them a happy Yalda night. It is the longest night of year and as Iranian tradition we celebrate it with the love in our heart for each other to prove that no matter how long the night is, we have sunshine of love in our heart for each other which makes us warm. It is why most of Iranian families try to be together in this night.
My husband had a good day too. He was known as the best employee in his group so they gave him a nice gift. He also had gone to have a big lunch with his coworkers ( his boss's treat ), so he enjoyed his day too.
I was making things ready for tonight most of my day, and dreaming of my twin boys being with us in next Yalda night, making mess all around us, making me tired but very happy. My niece had some funny dreams about our twins which made me laugh for long, so I guess my boys did enjoy the day too.
I cooked Ghorme-Sabzi ( an Iranian stew ) and rice ( in Iranian style ). We also had some nuts which my kind brother had shipped to us all over from Iran. We had some fruit and the best part was pomegranate which we all enjoyed.
It is just one hour after dinner now. My husband is at his computer working to finish a task for work. My boys are moving around, still excited of the happy day that we had. And I need to go to measure my blood sugar.... Love to all of my family and friends, wishing the best days for them in coming winter
