Happy Diwali!

Pooneet, Ananya, and I just celebrated a wonderful Diwali weekend! We went wine-tasting during the day with our "Tahiti" friends, and Ananya and Gabe had so much fun playing with each other! At night, Pooneet's parents and my mom (dad's trekking in Patagonia) came over to celebrate. We decorated our house with flowers and candles in each room, put the lights up on the deck, did a pooja with our little mandir, lit sparklers (which made Ananya go "ooooh"), and ate lots of sweets. I even made burfi for the first time! It was so nice to celebrate this holiday with our parents and with Ananya, and we wish all of our loved ones a year of good health, happiness, and love. Ananya had a very happy Diwali, especially because she got to play with her grandparents all day and night!
