We studied Ancient India this past week (and also India in general). The kids enjoyed listening to some Indian dance music - it actually sounds pretty cool.
I went to JoAnn's and bought them each a yard and a half of beautiful sari fabric and they have been using it all week to dress up in. What vibrant colors they had!! The kids had a hard time choosing just one.

I just noticed how you always seem to get a perfect shot of your girls. With my kids, it takes like 2000 tries to get one shot where both of them look into the camera, don't make a goofy face by accident and don't blink.
The colors of the saris are just beautiful!
Look like you had a great time! I'm jealous, looks like fun! :) Your girls are beautiful!
