cinco. DE MAYO!




after seeing kami & kyle's cinco de mayo party/anniversary/celebration/FIESTA! last year, i decided that we would throw our own shindig to celebrate our beloved 5th of may.

this one was just like theirs, only about 10 steps down in the "classy factor". a white-trash, ghetto version of the barrio, if you will. (or even if you won't.)

since i am officially part mexi, i threw all political-correctness OUT THE DOOR and asked our guests to dress up in their grandest latino finery:







russ & i were especially proud to celebrate my heritage: (doesn't russ look BADASS?)



we ate, we partied, we drank red punch, & we beat poor pinata-dora to a crepe-paper pulp:



the very best part of the evening was the absolutely beautiful weather.

AND our wonderful friends and family.

AND the gallon-size ziploc bags full of candy that each child took home.



AND......
