Happy Diwali!

Last week, the family celebrated Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It is a really big deal and we light diyas (oil lamps) inside and outside our homes. We bake indian sweets and deliver trays to our families and friends. All in all, it is a joyous holiday where we enjoy each others company and eat good food. This year was no different in doing all the above but it was a little on the quieter side. We lit diyas at our house and then went over to Mum's house, where we danced, ate and set off fireworks! It was the first time that Suhana actually got so close to them. At first she was scared, but later warmed up to them and was pretty happy to see them. And Jiana was a great sport, mellow as always!
