We awoke this morning with rainy, gloomy weather but we hoped for the best so our fun-filled day could begin. Malak was festive in a red Canada shirt and grey shorts with a maple leaf on the side. The look was completed with cute pigtails and a tattoo on her cheek.
We spent the day at the park playing at all the kids stations. We were all fasting but Malak and Shatha got in on some of the snacks the park had to offer. Malak played on some cars and the bouncy castle with grandma and I took her to the playground and bubble stations. Malak loves to play and see people, she is so friendly. Every year they call up children onto the stage to sing the National Anthem and Malak went up and stood with the kids and even ended up lip-syncing the words (remember she's a one year old). It was the cutest thing ever! Malak even ate a slice of cake from the big flag cake that was served.
Her being happy made me just overjoyed. It was a great day! Although it did get chilly throughout the day. After the park we went home and each of us bought food for iftar time (breaking fast) and we headed back to the park at around 9pm. We broke our fast altogether and then the fireworks started at 10pm. Malak loved them! I didn't expect her to watch in astonishment because usually babies cry! I was thankful she was good and enjoyed her time.

I love you baby girl <3
