		<description><![CDATA[This Thanksgiving we made a Thanksgiving tree.  Kabir took a vase and filled it with sand, pebbles and sand.  Then we added a few branches from our backyard.  Then Kabir made a few leaves with foam sheets.  Each one of us picked our own leaf and we wrote down what we are thankful for.  We enjoyed it and it gave more meaning to our Thanksgiving day.  I plan to continue this tradition for as long as I can.

		<description><![CDATA[In October 2008, when Kabir was 2 years old, I started a book club for kids.  I sent a letter to some of my friends who had similar aged kids and invited them to join the book club.  All my friends came and we formed a book club for kids very spontaneously.

		<description><![CDATA[Kabir started kindergarten.  We completed two weeks of school and then we went to Disney World and it was indeed magical.  Arjun (my 21 month old) can’t talk much but he has learnt to recognize and say “Mickey”.  The trip was really worth it even though it was super-exhausting by the end.  Then we came back and we have finally completed two more weeks of school.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, we read about cave paintings.  So, we made some homemade paints.  We added ¼ cup of hot water to ½ cup of frozen blueberries and mashed it to make a paint.  Similarly we made brown paint by adding little boiling water to instant coffee.  Also, we made green paint with kiwi (it was not a good idea.  I would rather use something else for green paint).  Then the kids had a blast painting on a paper with feathers.

		<description><![CDATA[Spontaneously, we have started a tradition since 2009 (when Kabir was 3).  My kids decorate pumpkin every year with the help and guidance of their grandfather.  It’s very interesting to watch them.  Here are some of the photos that will always remind us of these beautiful moments.

		<description><![CDATA[My mother-in-law is a whiz in knitting sweaters with beautiful designs.  I never dare to look closely at her needles while knitting as I might get dizzy because she is so fast.  My kids enjoy wearing sweaters with pretty designs made by their grandmother.  Here are a few photos of many sweaters she has made for them.  Enjoy!
