On Friday night we had a belly dance birthday party at my house. As my regular readers know I have been belly dancing for many years, but haven't done a lot since having Sophie. My friends have been asking me to show them some dancing and they all wanted to dance too, so we put together a Middle Eastern themed belly dance party!
What a lot of fun. We had costumes and veils for everyone to try and lots of jingly things. One friend applied Egyptian style eye makeup to everyone.
My lovely daughter Laura, brought some great Arabic music and had everyone's name written in Arabic as a party favor.

We had many photo ops and every one really got into the spirit of performing.
I really have such lovely friends.
Even my poppet, Sophie got into the belly dance act, she has been dancing since she could walk.
Friends are the best, they are what make life worth it all.
We had lovely henna, a gift from Laura, and applied by Mare. This is my foot design...love it.
Laura also brought a hookah, this is a Middle Eastern flavored tobacco, that is sweet and quite tasty even if you are a non smoker like me.

That was the best food I have had since I lived in Texas. Yummy!
The dancing and socializing, and the henna tattoos were so awesome. I really enjoyed every minute of the party.
