First Birthday

September 2007

This month was a big one for us. Kush returned from a three-week stay with his grandparents in Ottawa. And we celebrated his First Birthday in our Indo-Mexican family tradition: we had a big Fiesta with Mariachis and Indian food!

The Big Day!...6th of September

Morning of the main Fiesta

Dad and son checking the weather...looks like it’s going to be a scorcher!

Cousin Addison came to celebrate!

A quick game of peek-a-boo with some of his friends.

With Nani and two of his Houston Aunties...Mic and Dawn Auntie

MamaJi and MamiJi in town for the celebration

Getting a prime seat for the pinata-breaking.

Taking a few swings at the burro before the big kids show up

Jack-pot!...Gimme those Skittles!

Mmmmm....CAKE!

Our family...we survived our first year together

Time to blow out the candle...

...then rip open the gifts

Nothing like a greasy breakfast at the local Taqueria the morning after a big night
