Happy Cinco de Mayo!

We had such a fun Cinco de Mayo party last night! Doug, who served in a Spanish speaking mission, loves the opportunity to create his authentic Mexican food. Unfortunately, his mean 'ole wife only lets him cook Mexican food on special occasions because I'm definately more of a Taco Bell fan! :-) We did enjoy some yummy homemade salsa from Esther, carne asada, flautas, and Navajo Tacos-which is what I ate because it is as close to Taco Bell as I could get!! We had some wonderful friends come over, eat, and then each taking a turn at looking the fool while trying to crack open the piƱata! Too bad it broke before I got a turn!

Gisele was our true hero who cracked this monster open!

Instead of stuffing as much candy into their bags, each kid just sat on the floor and ate one piece at a time...or as many pieces that would fit in their mouths at the same time!! :-)

Brooklyn was just so excited with her find!! Isn't that the cutest face!?

Brooklyn and her adorable friend Emma surrounded themselves with pillows to enjoy their sweets! The best part of the evening was knowing that we are truely so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends no matter where we live, or have lived! We love you guys! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
