I don't know why, but I really love Cinco de Mayo. It has become a tradition in our little family to make a party of it every May 5. We bust out the old Mexican dishes and tablecloth that we have as souviners from our few trips to Mexico. I love making chicken tacos with lots of lime, avocados, and homemade salsa. To make it even more of a party, we always make up some pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris. Mmmmm! Last night we even made a some fried ice cream sprinkled with a little cinnamon, chocolate syrup, bananas and whipped cream. Then we play some Spanish music that Byron bought when he was fresh off his mission. Elvis Crespo and Mana are our favs! It is the perfect finishing touch to make the night a hit! Last night Byron's parents came over to join in the fun and we had a great time. I think Benson even beat Grandpa at a mad game of Uno! It made his night! Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Tuesday, May 6, 2008
