We made a stop at REI on our way to dinner, so I took the opportunity to get some shots of the kids together with the flowers and fountain.

Our next stop was the India Palace for our celebration dinner. The staff is so nice there. We explained that we were celebrating Alesha being home with us for 1 year. We asked if they could take a family photo of us and below is the result. Too bad Alesha wasn't looking at the camera. Oh, well I am just happy to have a family photo of our special day.
When we finished dinner we were given free dessert for everybody at our table. How sweet is that? The funny thing is that Alesha doesn't like anything sweet, but apparently Indian desserts are different because she gobbled down the entire dessert! I was shocked! Her first taste of Gulab Jamun was a success.
On the way home I tried to get a shot of the three kids together. As you can see it was quite the challenge to get everybody looking and acting appropriately. We had a lot of laughs!
At home we had a small cake to finish off the celebration. Alesha, of course didn't want any of it, because it was not an Indian dessert :-)

Alesha was all done having pictures taken and was ready for bed after a long day of celebration.

Looks like a fun filled day...the pictures are so fun and that cake looks yummy!:) Maiya looked at them with me. She noticed Alesha quick. Gidget
Looks like a wonderful day! So cute that Alesha likes Gulab Jaman. Eli is her opposite - he dislikes all American food EXCEPT sweets.
Love all the photos -- and congratulations on one year together!! I'm laughing at the tired face -- Anya Rashi looks exactly the same when she's at the end of the day. :o) The boys are looking so old, and I love seeing them being Alesha's protectors -- our oldest son will be 11 by the time his next sister comes home, so your family always gives me a little preview of the future.
Happy Alesha Day!
