New Year Party Filmed at El Garaje

As previously blogged in our Christmas Party story, the plan to hold a New Year Party at H-77 El Garaje came true, much to everyone's delight.  

Uncle Metz and Tia Stella, two of Lola Beling's children, were there as well as the grandchildren and great grandchildren for this end-of-the-year celebration.

The attendance narrowed a bit but the fun and laughter doubled compared to what we had during the Christmas Party.  As usual, the dinner table is full with Paray's lechon as the center piece, courtesy of our generous benefactor, Kuya JP!

Dinner Time: Surely, everyone is famished!

The evening was marked with family picture taking, singing, dance tutorial, newspaper dance for the kids and Pay-per-Dance for the adults.

If the kids are good in newspaper dance, the adults
are very competitive in their Pay-Per-Dance Craze.
Unfortunately, nobody won;
the financier was too broke to declare even a single winner

We hope and wish that for the 2011 Christmas Party and 2012 New Year's Party, we will be able to perfect our family roll call and enjoy each other's company! To all our family members scattered all over the world, have a happy and prosperous New Year!
