On Tuesday, we welcomed in the year 2005 according to the Julian calendar which is followed by many people in Ethiopia. It was our first Ethiopian New Year as a family and we celebrated a few days early by going to a new year's party at Fort Snelling State Park on Sunday. It was wonderful to have a reason to dress Bereket up in her special dress from Ethiopia. We had a little fashion show all around the house before we headed up to Minneapolis.
When we arrived at the party, we enjoyed Ethiopian music, food, and Bereket's favorite part of all: balloons in the colors of the Ethiopian flag!
Bereket and daddy had fun exploring the park on such a beautiful day.
And seeing wonderful friends made in Ethiopia like Mengistu and his parents was the best! What better way to celebrate a new year than with a hug!
May 2005 be a healthy, happy and prosperous year for all!
