Anoushka is ONE!


Our chhutki pie is ONE!!! She celebrated her real birthday in India with her grandparents in Hyderabad and Trivandrum. But it's time for the bay area bash.

Anoushka looks like a doll in her ornate pomegranate lehnga choli. Mommy's decked her out in matching jewellery complete with tinkling bangles and anklets. My favorite is the tiny little ring on her stubby little finger. She behaves like a doll too; unruffled after hours of mingling. She's just about learning to walk, so she teteers uncertainly every time anyone puts her down.

The hall is blooming with pink and white balloons. The lunch buffet is delicious. Soon it's time to blow out the solitary candle on the Winnie-the-Pooh cake. HAPPY BIRTHDAY precious! We wish you only the best in life. Watching you grow is pure magic and we're delighted to be a part of this journey. Chitta and Mama love you!
