For Diwali this year, we had many celebrations! We celebrated on Sunday by performing a Dhanteras Pooja, we played with sparklers that Dada and Ba brought over from the Mandir (marking Krish overcoming his fear of fireworks), we had a wonderful Diwali feast with Dada, Ba, Raksha Auntie and Zena Foi at our home, and we invited our play group friends over to teach them all about Diwali, the Festival of Lights! We made hand-crafted diyas together and enjoyed sparklers to ring in the new year!
Our little artists at work...painting their clay diyas!
Lighting the lamps and admiring (astonished by) their lit diyas!
The kids and moms loved learning about our culture and holiday celebrations! Everybody had a wonderful time, and we were so happy to be able to share and enjoy our traditions with our good friends!
Yay! Love it! Can't wait to be able to get the whole group in a shot together (impossible with 1-year-olds!). Great photography work with the diya pics too! Krish is fearless with the sparklers now...woo hoo!
