And now - the NEW camera shots....

New Year's Eve Party with the girls (which doubles as a birthday party for Sarah who turned 13 on January 1)

Tia, Sarah and Mantie

Here's the table of food we had...

mini pies my aunt taught me about when I was there in the spring....

And the fun begins.... Destiny, Mantie, Sarah, Tia and Cindy...

Fruit to dip into chocolate. I loved the mixture of colors in this shot....

And more of the goodies... this doesn't include the pumpkin roll I made which turned out fabulous....

All the kids in front of the spread...

Jose and his birthday cake...

Sarah and her cake. We had to tip the cabbage patch doll backwards or the candles would have burned off her hair....

Jose loved the cake...

Jose on Tia's shoulder waiting for the gift exchange....

He LOVED the lollipop!!!!

Sarah was so excited to get this from Tia...

And the noise didn't quit for several hours...
