Cousins (and one Auntie.) I love this family! These beautiful Fiesta Ladies, every one, always has a kind word. A tremendous part of the joy of Fiesta is the wonderful time spent with family and friends. Buona Festa!

Snapshots from Friday night opening ceremony. I am mostly filming, but do manage to take a few photos. So many beautiful moments last night–I wish there was a simple way to film and take good quality photographs at exactly the same time.
