Happy Diwali!

Tonight we celebrated the Indian festival Diwali -- the "festival of lights." According to our friend Sapna, Diwali honors Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and signifies the renewal of life. We went with Sapna, Stephen and Tara to a Diwali celebration. Sapna loaned me a lovely sari and Abby and I wore wonderful bracelets and we each had a bindi on our forehead. We ate delicious Indian food. Abby and Tara danced and danced! Abby was so serious as she was dancing.
