New Year's Eve at the Gutierrez's

(Updated with pics!)

2006 seems to be a year of keeping traditions alive. In more recent family history, we celebrated New Year's at Tito Boy's house in Antipolo. Since Tita Baby and Tito Vlad were in the country, it was decided to have the party in the Gutierrez's BF Almanza home instead. So to CRM Gloria we went, just as we did a couple of years ago.

Tita Baby sure had a feast! The guests happily trooped to the dining area and piled their plates with yummy dishes.




I particularly loved these baked prawns! Topped with cheese and garlic. Yummy!



Present that evening were Lucille and Dindo Gutierrez (Tito Vlad's son). And of course, the very pretty Iris and Ina! Here they are with Lester.



Pink is most definitely the color that evening! Here are the Tanquilut ladies in their uniform pink tops (all courtesy of Tita Baby).





My oh my... See how the kids have grown. Pretty girls Iris and Ina, with "tita" Yssa and cousin Alfonso. Fonzie is destined for showbusiness, it seems!



Tita Babes went all out for this party! Meron pang lechon baka (yes, that's what this blurred thingamajigger is). The meat was tender! Rommel reports he might have finished three sizzling plates.



Here are the forever drinking buddies.



Table to table pics!




We had a couple of games that evening. Four groups attempted to build the tallest and sturdiest structure made of platic straws (with only a pair of scissors and scotch tape).

Tita Baby, Rommel, Ate Cynthia, Tita Rosie, and RenRen's group emerged victorious!













And since 2007 is the year of the pig, we had a "Make your own big" contest, were delegates from each participating team, had to endure 20 minutes of make up, scotch tape, and sheer embarrassment. In the end, Tito Ferdie emerged victorious (beating Gibo, Renren, and Tonton). Funny because of all the three, Tito Ferdie looked like a horse! Hehe!




The winning Pig! That'll do, pig. That'll do.


Happy 2007 peeps!
