Thats right Feliz Cinco De Mayo!
In Honor of the great independence day we had a fiesta, Dressing up was optional so of course we did. I ended up looking bohemian and Coy look like he always does (not Mexican), but for some reason the ghosts of Cinco De Mayo pasts were smiling down on Emma, I just happen to get package from my mom today that had toys for Emma and this dress from some missionaries in Panama, that just happened to look like traditional Mexican dress, coincidence I'll let you be the judge of that. Either way she looked very cute and traditional.
Being in Montana the only time we get what we consider real Mexican food is when I cook it,
but tonight was an all out Mexican feast. I made carne adovada, and sopapillas, there was mexican rice, different types of homemade salsa, fish tacos, taguitos, mexican wedding cookies
(yummy),the Guido's famous queso, and much more.
And of course as you can see we had to have margaritas which of course were non alcoholic, and my unborn child appreciated that.
As far as looking the most Mexican Jennie and Levi won hands down, I think if Emma didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes she would have looked the most tradtional but she can't help it. It was a great night of food, friends and music that made me like I was back in Albuquerque or as we like to call it "Burque".

sounds like fun! emma looks so cute :)
So FUN! I guess once you don't live here anymore, you value our culture a little more. We didn't do anything for cinco de mayo except say, "happy cinco de mayo". It's funny because I'm SO excited to be up there to be apart of stuff like that and yet here I am living in ABQ where getting my hands on chili and mexican attire is so easy!
Speaking of "Burque," I didn't hear Emma mention the Barretts when she was doing a shout out to all her "friends!" Are you not keeping our memory alive????
