Cinco De Mayo

Here is our festive table! You can't see it but we made a banner for above the sliding glass door!

Any reason for a party and I'm there! Today was Cinco De Mayo and of course we celebrated. For dinner we had "Mexican Hotdogs" just like the ones you can buy from the street vendor on the corner by my grandmothers house. Yummy!! THey were soooooo good that I had to make myself stop eating after 2. They were the real deal, bacon, onions, salsa, mayo, mustard. All the fixings and the mess to prove it! I miss being by my mom where this special treat was a little more frequent! After dinner we had a family home evening about the holiday and then talked a little bit about why Mexico is so special to us! Mainly because it is home to some of my favorite people and the paleta's are so good! LOL!! Whe ended the evening with my first, but most definately not the last, batch of churros. What a great holiday!

Delicious!!!!!
