Polka Dots New Year

Since my younger years, my parents used to tell us that we should wear polka dots during the new year's day to attract money/coins, jump at midnight to grow taller for the whole year and make noise as we welcome the upcoming year to get rid of the bad spirits.
The good news is that cousin tEssol and a friend shed is coming to welcome 2011 with the whole family, and the banging news is that I am going to work at 8:00pm so I was expecting that it will be better if we start early so I can join them in the happenings. Unfortunately, tAanne went home at 5:00 from town so we only have three hours together minus the time that they need to prepare themselves.
While waiting for them, I made fruit tarts and cupcakes!

As the time passes by, I have to leave for work!

and the party continues . . .

titaGlo came with boy friend and the two sons Bismark and John, Uncle Jun was able to join because he finished cooking (he's the kitchen in charged most of the time)  

teShai was able to come five minutes before 12 midnight

as they were having a toast for the prosperous 2011,

I am so sleepy at work.

Have a fab 2011 everyone!! God bless!
