Diwali--the festival of lights

Jones's business school class is made up of about 1/3 Americans, 1/3 Indians, and the rest are from everywhere else on earth.  So, the Indian students got together and organized a Diwali party.  Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights. I would compare it to a New Year's Eve party, but with lots of yummy Indian food, Bollywood-style dancing, skits and music.  We were thrilled to go and experience more of the Indian culture.  Jones and I both love Indian food.  Every Friday night we get Indian take-away from Standard Tandoori.  We loved the opportunity to take the kids out on a Saturday night and have some fun.
The night started off with a skit, some dancing, and some music.  Then, we had food.  After eating, they had a dance floor set up with a DJ playing some Indian music.  EC and A had a blast dancing the night away.  I must say that EC's outfit was a huge hit.  She looked so cute, and she worked it on the dance floor!
