More on Independence Day 2008

Our guests for the evening were Nicolas and Alma Flores from Celaya and their family. It was SO nice to see them again. Nico is one of the leaders of the Celaya Bible Church. He brought the message, which was excellent. I don't think I ever heard him preach before!

The costume competition was fun with Tania as MC - she is SO GOOD! Gilberto, dressed as Jose Maria Morelos, didn't get first prize and was very disappointed. Dana, in the Tehuana outfit, took the prize.

Victor's granddaughter didn't win any prizes, but she sure was cute in her MEXICAN hat!

Juana and son Fernando won first place among the adults. She's wearing an Otomi outfit - in fact, it's the outfit she wears everyday! She was delighted to be the winner, wearing her normal outfit!

Twins! Don't we LOOK like twins!? Everyone thought Yolanda and I had planned our outfits, but nope, it wasn't planned - it just happened to be the only outfit each of us has! Behind us you can see Petra, who came as "La India Maria", a famous movie actress here in Mexico!
