The Indian Birthday

Leann celebrated her first Indian birthday on May 2nd. Following breakfast we went to the Ooty flower show in Chennai (Ooty is a hill station in the state of Tamil Nadu, where we live). The flower arrangements were fantastic as well as the veggie art work. Note the crocodile made from bitter gourd! Following the show we went treated Leann to a vegetarian South Indian food festival, where we all pigged out!!
All this was followed by a family get together with more food and cake, and lots of birthday singing. All in all a great day, and the start to another great year!
