Too bad I was not in good enough shape to capture the other two sets.. We will get them the next time they dress up to go to a temple or some other function.
Our girls are growing up.. too fast for my liking!

Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 8:05PM This weekend is a festive one in the house. First Varalakshmi Nombu/pooja was celebrated by the girls and ladies in the house Friday evening. The house was standing room only and the food (all taken care of by MIL and San) was yummy!
The girls dressed up in their last set of new clothes and posed for me as usual.
Today was Aavaniavittam aka thread ceremony, which comes with some more yummy food for me. Considering this is the one festival for the men in the house (man in our case) the ladies were kind enough to cook new goodies today!
Yoga was bunked because of all the over eating and that was a double whammy. Tomorrow will be a day of yoga and meditation. There is a 1008 Gayathri mantras to be done and some hot yoga to go with it...
Another year has rolled by and we enter the festive season !

Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 2:24PM Bombay had purchased some Paavaadais for the girls in India recently.
Another installment was released today!
The girls were also very excited to receive matching fake jewelry that goes with the silk frocks.
They made daddy happy by posing as usual for photos.
A detailed analysis of the fake Jewels showed that there are no real stones for most of the necklaces. The thing is actually a faceted hole in a stamped plastic with a coating on the inside. The reflections from the hole create an optical illusion that there are raised stones set on the plastic. Whoever came up with the concept is pure genius! It shines better than real stones would.
Daddy shed some Aaananda kanneer (happy tears) on seeing how far materials science has improved over the years!
Hopefully such improvements will save lots of $ for me when the kids grow up.
