Pakistan Celebration Part II- More Mehndi

Since we had special guests for our celebration this month, I thought it would be fun to do an activity, besides eating and playing trivia. I did a little research and I decided that we should do henna tattoos. Henna, is used for important holidays and celebrations in many countries, including Pakistan. When I mentioned the idea of doing henna to my mom, she addressed that fact that we have already done mehndi before (see it here).  After wondering how I would make it different from the last post about us getting Henna tattoos, I decided that there wasn't much that was different except that I did all of the tattoos (except mine, my super talented sister in law, Katie did mine). In the end, since I am blogging about what we did, I decided that I wanted to include the mehndi as well, even if you've seen it before. Really, is there such a thing as too much mehndi? I mean, look at it, it's lovely.

So comes the conclusion of our tour of Pakistan. Along the way I had the guidance of yet another teacher from Eliana's school. The teacher, Miss Nasreen is from Pakistan and you can check out the wonderful things she and her family are doing here. 

Coming soon: honoring our lost loved ones, starting a fun new project that I am eager to share with you, and continuing on our tour of the world with another country.
