When we got to India we were greeted by some lovely individuals who told us all about India and some of their festivities. We learned to Bolly wood dance (So you think you can dance has got NOTHING on us), made sparkly elephant decorations, ate some fantastic curry dishes, & celebrated Raksha Bandhan (a celebration of brothers & sisters).

| for Raksha Bandhan the kids all made their brothers or sisters a card and gave them a bracelet |
I think that if Grandma Luvlee could she would decorate her home like she did for India every day (that or Mexico). It was such a fun day full of happy colors. One of our highlights was watching pieces of the movie "Jodha Akbar". It is our favorite Bollywood movie. Jett is still singing the songs from it.(Only he doesn't know the words-it is quite lovely). Watch the video here if you want it stuck in your head to, trust me you won't regret it:)

Were you seriously the teacher?! Love it! Too bad there wasn't VIDEO of this!! You look great in hot pink and jewels - just fyi!
Don't worry mom and I sang the song all through the stores thanks to you! Love your post! You are so good!
Cassie, I know right:)
Hello, I am so happy to have found this. I have been planning a Bollywood themed party for my daughter for her 10th birthday in a few weeks, and wonder if you have any additional info about this party you did, like the crafts? I am feeling at a loss. Do you have any pics of the sparkly elephants, and is it something a 10 year old would like? Did you teach the dance? If you have any additional info you are willing to share, I would love to hear it. My e-mail address in risabaker@gmail.com Do you happen to have a copy of the invitation? Thanks in advance for your time :)
