I think I've told you before that I typically send my SIL to the Hispanic store to buy our annual pinata because he can speak fluent Spanish and he is Hispanic so they give him a better price. We got this huge Batman pinata for $17 and I'm sure they would have charged me at least $25.
I picked up some candy on Saturday when I was at Sam's Club as well as the rest of the fixins' I needed for chicken chimis. It is such an easy recipe and it feels pretty authentic. Bossy made bean dip and I stepped way outside the box and made a Tres Leches cake. (Really I just stole the recipe from Martha Stewart.) But it turned out pretty delicious and the kids raved about it. I would have eaten a second piece, but I knew how many calories it had in it so I decided to pass.
When my sister and I first started having babies, we had this game of giving the niece or nephew a really annoying gift, like a baseball or something that made irritating noises. When my sister stopped having babies, I took up this fun little game with Bossy. Things like hammers and anything with sirens and flashing lights...all of these make Bossy just roll her eyes at me.
Isn't he cute? |
That's why I married him! |
Fortunately there was no permanent damage done and before long Sport was outside playing with the kids. We had a great time with our combined Fiesta/birthday party.
All that violence...first the pinata, then the boxing gloves...it was almost like the reason Cinco de Mayo was honored in the first place, to celebrate the victory of a war...
or maybe a boxing match.

When I did my meal planning I didn't even think about the fact that Cinco de Mayo was coming.... but we ended up with Chicken Fajitas & Guacamole to celebrate! I felt so festive when I realized that I had done that :) Chris was pretty impressed as well that I had planned that out!
Your Cinco de Mayo seems a little more legit than ours, but what a fun day! Hopefully Gamer likes his boxing gloves :) Seriously, some day I am coming up to your house and crashing one of your big holiday parties!
You really do have such fun events for your family. I loved this one. I am afraid if we had boxing gloves around for our grandkids; it could be a disaster. Loved the picture and blessings to you all!
