Cinco De Mayo!

I love Cinco De Mayo! What’s not to love? Great food (fried ice-cream, 7 layer dip, enchiladas, chimis, quesadillas, etc. mmmmmm), Good upbeat music, you get to pound a piñata, and when it breaks candy flies everywhere, and Beth all dressed up in her Mexican apparel.

We started preparing the piñatas a couple days before. Very messy, but the kids loved it. We made one big one (ended up being for the adults), and Bryant and Conner made two little ones for the kids. They were all supposed to be Kirby.

Showing their final product. I gave Ethan this little boat to paint because he was napping during piñata making. I think the boys did a great job.

Don’t you think Beth looks awesome.

Pounding the Piñatas!

Don’t you think Andy needs a little girl? Until then he can borrow Paige I’m sure.

Time for family pictures!

My nephew Brett (in the previous post), had a Mexican theme for his prom date,

so I borrowed this. It turned out so fun.

Brooke worked so hard on these mustaches and we didn’t really use them (I was going to take group/family pictures with them, but it got late. As if I didn’t have enough pictures),

so we had a little fun with them that night.

Here is the video we got of the "adults" hitting the pinata.  Sorry Alicia, James didn't think to get out his IPod to video until after he saw how awesome you did. 

Beth breaking our way nice bat.

Sorry Danny, James was multitasking (video, and piñata duty).

Watch Ethan in the background.  Don't worry it didn't get him, it got Danny instead. 

Thanks everyone for coming! This will be a hard party to top, but we'll try.

I had so much fun, I hope everyone else did too.
