the lighter side of syria

several weeks ago, we headed up to omaha for a little family reunion type of affair.  my grandpa, on my mom's side, was born in the US, but his parents (my great grandparents if you are following along) were from syria.  every summer, and usually on easter, there is a pretty massive syrian dinner that commences.  in light of recent events, i thought a few uplifting photographs representing a little taste of syria, were in order.  so put on your stretchy pants and see who can fill their plate the tallest, this is the 2013 syrian family picnic.
