American Reception

On Saturday, we went to Uncle Vasu and Auntie Harshitha's home for an American Wedding Reception! It was great fun!

We arrived a little early to help finish setting up

A little snack before getting dressed!

Running around like a crazy man in his best Indian outfit.

Running, this time outside

In their finest Indian dress.

All together.

Going out to meet the guests!

I changed Lon out of his finest outfit. I have an Indian outfit that is cotton, not the wonderful silk from Uncle Vasu! I changed him into that. He was cooler and he could eat and drink whatever he wanted! He was a happy boy!

Lon was so surprised, so was I, when Baby Chiatanya gave him a set of Lincoln Logs. They could not make it to Lon's party, but they wanted Lon to have a gift. How incredibly sweet is that? Lon wanted to go home right then and play Lincoln Logs. We put the gift in the car and stayed at the party.

There was dancing!

More dancing!

Lon lost some of the balloons.

Okay, cut the cake already!

A speech by Uncle Vasu, a few words from Auntie Harshitha, and a hug!

We left a little while later. We had a wonderful time, there was plenty of very good food. Butter chicken, lamb briyani, raita, vegetarian dahl, chicken curry, tandori and paneer. I did not want to eat dinner! I am so happy for Uncle Vasu. He is very happy!
