♥ Love is in the Air ♥

February, month of ♥ love is already on and with that love is blooming in air, isn't it !!! As soon as its February, it hit Love in my mind, Valentines Day, Roses, Gift, Chocolate, Teddy's, Cupid ♥ and what not. Nothing special in mind to do on this Valentines Day, but still feeling excited. I was talking to my school friend this morning and we were ranting for what silly stuff we use to do on Valentines Day in those innocent school days and silly collage days. Being studied in girls collage, always boys were hunting for girls on this special days, Its kind of Love Mela (fair). As being not having any BF, it was always fun to watch lovers exchanging flower and gifts and shy eye sight. We use to have a dress code to were pink and white or red for this particular day :) Aahhh those were the days :) I miss all that fun. 

Later when I got engaged with by better half we exchanged gifts. Its always a challenge for girls to get gift for Boy as there are not many choices, isn't it!!!  For Girls, they have tons of choices. We are married now but I feels its challenge to buy gift for him even now. Anyways, at home, our first born is more excited to celebrate Valentines Day ♥. She already got treats for her friends and gifts for he teacher and her baby sister. She did picked up cute key chain for her and one for me too.  I am planing to do photo shoot for ♥day at home, hopefully will do it soon. Looking fwd for weekend as it is Valentines Day♥ and also Family Day long weekend holiday on Monday. 

leaving you with beautiful song, do surely listen it, I am sure you will love it too, Its our fav Valentine's day Mashup.

with more and more ♥♥♥

Fabulous Frosty February

February 1st, started with Snow storm and it's all white all around with cold and chilly weather these days. We Survived and no complains for that. In fact we loved February snowy weather as temp goes up while snowing and we got chance to go for Snow sleighing. We have park near by our home, like5 mins walking distance where there is hill area and football ring with lake near by. Last week on Saturday we went for Snow sleighing. Daddy was working on Saturdays so no point to count on him, I got call from one of our friend that they are coming for snow sleighing and if we want to join them. I didn't gave second thought and said yes. Thanks to myself that I took chance with 2 1/2 years toddler to go for it who don't want to were snow shoes. After much difficulty and many try I took her with regular shoes and I am sure she was feeling cold in her feet, still she enjoyed there and being worried mumma, I was carrying her half the time we were there. She eat snow and keep saying to all I ate snow man. It was great fun, we all enjoyed it lot. that next morning when my little one got waked up and ask me to go for Snow Sleighing again. #suchafunday#snowsleighing#friends

Having fun at Snow sleighing :) on one snowy day 

Ananyaa was suppose to attained her classmate B'day party and theme was Spa B'day Party. These girl of mine, gave me hard time to get dressed up. but let me tell you, spa b'day theme was hit. All girls were very excited and they had a great time pampering themselves that they don't want to come home after party timings was done. They had manicure pedicure, Facial and god know what else. She had beautiful Nail paint and nail art on it. Now she is eating my head to have similar kind of B'day party theme for her next year. I said yes and saved myself for time being. As she was showing her nail paint to all, my little one got excited and want to have her nail painted, and  for that she was requesting me, her big sister to do so. Finally after much thought and giving her instruction not to put hand in mouth, I painted her nail with red nail paint and she was happiest person in my home. I must say her baby finger and tinny toes looks so cute :) but I missed to take pic :(  #KidsB'dayPartyFun

I am still humming that song...Entertainment, Entertainment....Entertainment....Entertainment :) did any one watch that !!!!

Our Rajashthani Folk Dance Performance :)

Finally Its over!!! We had Post celebration for 66th India Republic Day Celebration on 1st February. Were anyone can participate presenting any cultural program from their respective state. We enroll our group to participate to represent Gujarat with Garba, but some one has already given thier entry for it. Finally we decided to represent Rajashthan this time and we came up to do rajasthani fold dance "CHIRMI". We all ladies worked so hard to do practice being in so many other commitment in daily life with work and home. We were in total 8 participant and all married, having kids, Home to manage and work. But I guess we all were blessed with such a supportive family members, where we have given time for practice for our rajasthani dance, When I was on stage, I feel so proud to be a part of 66th republic day celebration which was going on. It feel great when you celebrate for your country being away from one. It was great experience and it was lot of fun watching other states performance from India. 

There were many issue in last week of of our practice and we all meet just day before our performance. We had some other program for India Tourism and we were busy to prepare for performance in that so couldn't do practice for our rajasthani dance. We gave our half day in practice. Still after I saw our performance video, I feel we could have done more better. There is lack of synchronization, and also some minor mistakes. But I think it went well. Hope to do more better  same performance next time. Finger crossed !!! We have done practice for this dance watching video on You Tube who has performed this same dance in 2010 by vanasthali vidyapeeth students and they won many prizes for it. We coulden't match them, they are the best and we did our best on that same Chirmi dance. Credit for Dance step is all them, we have changed few step in ours dance. Hatts off to those girls who were dancing taking three pots on head balancing them so well. We just mange to take one pot and that also we tied it up.
