We went for apple picking at the Tougas farm in Northborough today. Although it was my first time with fruit picking I did a pretty good job.
And now that I have my newly found weapon, my teeth, I did not spare any apple that was in my sight!
Those apples helped me smile for a couple of pics.
It had been a long day for everyone, so you can imagine a baby's state. I was ready to crash just the way chechi was (4 years back) after a long day of berry picking.
Yes! that's the two of us :)
Happy Onam to All!
The day started with prayers in the morning. Mamma, as expected was busy cooking the OnaSadya, Prathibha Aunty was the first one to arrive, as she had to put the pookalam. And once she was done the ladies of our house posed for the pic, only pretending to make it :)
Onam this year was super special for the family. Not only is this my first Onam, but it is also the first Onam in OUR own sweet home. All the female guests gathered to welcome Mahabali :)
After offering Naivedyam to Amboti it was time for the special person, that is me, to get the first bite of the Prasadam.
Now was the time to get to the 'main' part of Onam - the OnaSadya (Onam feast). Initially all I was doing was sitting and watching Chechi and her friends enjoying the OnaSadya while I was filling my tummy by sucking my thumb.
But, of course, that didn't last long. After a few minutes I realized that 'survival of the fittest' is what would work today. And don't judge me by my age, I know to survive!!
Finally it was turn for the elders to enjoy the OnaSadya too.
Here is a pic of the entire cast and crew of Onam 2013! :)
