May 5th: Cinco de Mayo

“I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives.  I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.” 
~ Abraham Lincoln ~


Tacos, tamales, tostadas, taquitos, chips & salsa, guacamole, enchiladas, burritos....are you hungry yet???  Let's not forget my personal favorite....VIRGIN MARGARITAS!  Anytime is a great time for Mexican food, but especially on the 5th of May....Cinco de Mayo!  Get the party started with lots of Latin music.  Hang some green, white and red streamers and lots of big paper flowers in bright colors.  (I've found that the Dollar Stores are a great place to get these items without breaking the bank!)  To spice things up a bit, have Sombreros for the men to wear and small paper flowers for the women to put behind their ear.  (You might have to resort to bribery to get some of your guests to wear them....I know I would!)  See how low everyone can go with a game of Limbo! (Don't forget to give them a pair of maracas to shake on the way down!)  To top off the night, let everyone take turns swinging at a pinata!  It's the perfect time to let your hair down a little and make some memories together.  (Be sure to take lots of pictures....there should be plenty of great photo opps throughout the night!)  Good food, good friends, good fun....what more could we possibly need?  ENJOY!
