Fireworks over Al Jazi

We were watching American Idol (gotta love it!) tonight, and all of a sudden heard a bunch of racket outside. Our first thought was bombs going off, but then we started thinking rationally and realized that it must be fireworks. I grabbed my camera to try and get a few shots, since I haven't had the opportunity to take many night shots with my new one. By the time it was over, most of our neighbors had joined me. We are not sure what they were for, but we enjoyed it nonetheless!
