One of the coolest things about living over here is seeing the different holidays that are celebrated around the world! Every year the kid's school puts on a big parade and dance for Deepavali, or "festival of lights." All the ECE kids (kinder age and down) dress up in Indian clothing and parade around the school, ending in the courtyard. There they do an Indian dance...so awesome!!
The kids were all SO cute in their clothes and did a fantastic job with the dance! Ella absolutely loved getting all dressed up! Luckily, Brent's office is right in the middle of Brickfields Little India, so I had no trouble finding outfits! All the clothes are so bright and colorful! Ella felt like a princess!! We bought lots of bangles and even henna stickers for her hands:)
Jake wasn't so sure at first:) Lily and Ella told him he looked like Aladdin! I didn't think he was going to enjoy any of it, but I was so wrong! Both kids did great and really got into the dance!
Luckily, Brent had been traveling so much, he was able to take the day off because Lily had a writing celebration at the same time. Brent loved going to the class where the kids served them treats and coffee and read them 3 stories that they had written and "published." Brent had a fantastic time and Lily loved having Daddy there:)
