Holiday Season Begins
It got busy over the last few weeks with the holiday season. We had Halloween, then Deepavali, and Thanksgiving.
The Halloween celebration was pretty much the same as in MN, kids got dressed up in costumes and went for trick or treat in the neighborhood.
Deepavali got busy in TX, and many Indian friends stopped by to give us sweets which was something new we experienced here. We invited a few neighbors and had a lunch feast.
And 20+ families in the neighborhood celebrated Deepavali again the next weekend in our Amenity center with kids’ dance, ladies’ dance, and other singing performances. Getting kids for dance practices was also very convenient as we were all living close by. In MN, we had to drive kids 30 minutes for dance practices. We felt like being part of a community.
This Thanksgiving is special to us, this was the first time we hosted a Thanksgiving dinner ever, with our decade-long friends from MN. We had 4 families from MN who drove to TX and stayed with us for the whole week. The whole week was super fun & very memorable first Thanksgiving in TX.
Happy Holidays everyone! May this holiday bring joy to you & family!
