Sophia Celebrates Diwali

Sophia celebrated her first Diwali on Saturday. We attended a party hosted by my friend and co-worker. It was a wonderful opportunity to get dressed up in kurtas and salwars, eat good food, meet new people and watch Sophia play with everyone's kids. She is certainly the social butterfly.

Diwali it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Light," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being. Sophia is wearing a traditional Indian outfit called a chaniya choli.
