Jonah gave a 5 minute, entirely memorized, presentation about the history of India, Hinduism, Dwalii and traditional dress. I never knew so much about India! We were in awe of his memorization skills.
Oh yeah, so Jackie has a big crush on Jonah and it drives him nuts. I'll get to that story in a later blog.
The grandparents partied with us and the two grandmothers were responsible for nearly every craft done. Clearly, we’re not pottery people, as our Ming Bowls broke. Twice. So we gave up on those.
Jackie presented on The Chinese New Year. She drew pictures and borrowed Jonah’s robe, straight from China! (Also Made in China). I’m so proud of her.
Cameron was going to present on the rainstick and Anansi the Spider, but last minute decided he would rather be a spectator at this party. So I read the fairy tale he wrote to the audience.
Amy got African music and the kids played their home-made instruments. Jonah was really moved by the music and danced as a tiger would.
These two were inseparable! Bella couldn't even use the bathroom without company.
We ate Indian food, Chinese food and forgot about the couscous. It was a fantastic night and I hope the kids remember these times!
