2011 RAMMY WINNERS


We had the best time at the RAMMY awards last night.  Everyone was dressed to impress, the food was delicious and it was fun to see so many familiar faces.
The food from Mexico was my favorite, but the Nordic Countries also made some tasty tender lamb.





The band rocked it out and we danced the night a way.  Congratulations to all of the winners!
