Not Your Average Family BBQ

Now that we are finally settled in our new house and the weather is turning quickly to the Fall (first one we have experienced in 4 years) we decided to have all of Pranvera's immediate family and closer cousins over for a Sunday BBQ, Kosovo style.

The days event began with me heading out to a farm with my brother in law to hand-pick the 22kg lamb that was then slaughtered and cleaned in front of us. Which was then transported to a local bakery to spend the day in a proper marinade roasting in a brick oven. We then fit the enormous baking tray into the car to return to the house with all the family arriving and the many many side dished that Pranvera and our relatives prepared added to the feast.

Adi and Rea absolutely loved having so many family around at once (a rare event) and it was so nice to have so much space to play and socialize. Not to mention all our nieces to help clean up afterward and get the kids down so we could collapse into bed. Another subtle reminder of the benefits of us moving back 'home'.
