Holi Heyyyy!!

I put off our Holi celebrations for a couple of weeks hoping it would seem more spring like when we celebrated since Holi is traditionally celebrated to welcome spring--but today turned out to be the coldest and windiest it has been in weeks... 

Still and all, our friends rallied and showed up despite the gusting snow flurries. We fired up a Bollywood playlist, put out Costco snacks, set out Holi colors, and a good time was had by all. 

I mean... did "Holi Heyyyy!" (It's Holi) become "Heyyyy, Holi" (Hello, Holi)? Sure; but that made it perfect in its own way.

Nicole: I really, really wish you could have been there! You'd have been dancing!
Gillian: Very, haha.
Sarah: No one ate our Costco snacks and now I'm stuck with boxes of junky food my one kid still at home won't eat because they're on a health food jag. I'm going to have to take it to campus.
