After Grandma got her henna, Lily cut ahead of all the other ladies and sat right down. The other ladies didn't seem to mind since it was pretty cute. Lily actually sat there very patiently and got it done. She was also pretty careful until that itch above her eye which got the henna ink all over her eyebrow. It still turned out great and she is loving it this morning.
These events are so much fun. The families sing traditional Indian songs and everyone dances and the kids put on these elaborate indian folk dances. Its really quite impressive how the young ones participate so wonderful. It is really a great family community and we were glad to be able to participate as well....especially Lily.
I don't get to see Lily around other kids that often and so it is fun to see how truly outgoing she is. We even had to pull her off of the dance floor when two of the kids were about to perform. Heartbreaking as it was, Lily did not know the dance moves and could have gotten hurt. Lily then sat and clapped and watched. Below is her trying to play patty-cake with some girls. Two of the girls are the children of a guy that Mike knows through work and they brought us a sari for Lily to wear to the wedding tonight. So exciting!
