At the moment our family is celebrating the festival of Ayyam-i-Ha (Intercalary Days) as part of the calendar of the Baha'i Faith (www.bahai.org).
This is our time of present-giving, celebrations, and also thinking about how we can be of service to those around us. This year we received some presents from Grandma and Grandpa, and we also gave the kids some presents. Here is baby H enjoying unwrapping his fire engine :-)
At the weekend we had a party with the Baha'is of East Devon and Exeter. We came together in a village hall to share lunch and then celebrate together. The younger ones played with a toy parachute, did some craft activities and played pass the parcel, whilst some of the older folk played a board game.
After the festival of Ayyam-i-Ha is a period of fasting and then the Baha'i New Year is on the first day of spring, 21st March. We're all really looking forward to spring and to starting the new year!
