Tonight we went to an awesome South Asian First Birthday Party :) My friend Priya has a daughter (Ananya) who just had her first birthday, so they threw a big bash! There were about 40-50 South Asians there - and since I'm missing SA, I loved it! Here's the Birthday girl (below) with my friend Priya and her husband.
Ananya liked her first taste of cake!
This is my other friend Jyoti :)
This is Jyoti's daughter, Parisha. Aashini had the best time playing with her! At one point they started holding hands :) it was so cute :)
They had soooo much food! This is only one table of food. They put the little flags (food labels) in the food just for us :) Priya made all of the food herself!! It was a lot of work! They also had appetizers and deserts!
Aashini really had a lot of fun and made a lot of new friends!
Here are Aashini and I with the birthday girl and Priya :) And yes, everyone was wearing a sari... Priya called everyone and told them to wear a sari... except me - she didn't want to embarass me if I didn't have one - haha! So instead, I was one of the only ones wearing jeans :)
Here is Adam with his new friends :)
Today it was really cold, so we came to the party all bundled up... but they cranked up the heat inside - so we really felt like we were back in South Asia! haha! We had a lot of fun and made a lot of new friends - it was awesome! It was cool to be in South Asia while here in America ;)

Our little Jyoti still has not arrived, but we're waiting patiently.
Too bad you didn't get a chance to wear a sari. Sounds like you guys had fun. :)
How come Ananya looks SO much older than my own (almost) one year old? Is it the hair?
Aashini looks right at home!!!
Ashini is so adorable <3
I met two of your people yesterday - in two different places! :)
