A few pics I promised...

These are just a few shots I took at Mom's b-day party and then with my new lens at Emee's skating. I was at the TOP of the Civic Center. They aren't too exciting but I liked her ponytail in the pictured when she "jumped" - she has improved SO much! The cross was made by Mom's dear friend, Delores. We worked together to get the jewelry to her without Mom knowing it - it is all of my grandmother's (who passed away in October)"costume" jewelry and then she put it all on the cross. She even lined the sides with old beaded necklaces. I am afraid that the photograph really doesn't do it justice - it is incredible and so very special to my mom! Thanks Delores for an incredible 70th birthday gift!
