Celebrating the Festival of Lights

Posted on October 25, 2004July 28, 2010 by Charlotte

I had such fun this weekend, especially since it was a long one so I had an extra day to play with my Daddy. We went to the Indian Festival of Diwali and saw some amazing Indian dancing. I loved the beautifully decorated elephants. I tasted my first samosa (Uncle Christopher would be proud of me!) and loved it.
