Arabian Nights

Every year at our family reunion we have a theme. We eat food pertaining to the theme, wear costumes, do skits, etc. according to the theme. 

This year was Arabian Nights. We ate Arabian food, had a "Clan Feud" (played Family Fued), had "Camel Races" (pinewood derby races), etc.

 I was such a slacker and didn't get any costumes done this year but luckily my mom saved the day and had extra material, etc. and we whipped these up. I even hand stitched (with needle and thread) the vest Gavin is wearing.
