Happy fifth of May, guys! The kids (and big kids, too) are really excited about our annual Cinco de mayo celebration. Last year Alex and Matty were the only actual Latinos is our group, but now, with Dante we have three. It seems everyones Spanish speaking skills have improved even more this year so we’ll all converse strictly in Spanish today.
Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating. It’s raining here with a threat of thunderstorms this afternoon, so our celebration will need to be altered a bit. We’ll still be doing a “moving dinner” but we’ll probably all be carrying umbrellas as we dash from house to house.
As last year, we’ll start at Chad and Raef’s place for chips, salsa and margaritas (virgin margaritas for the kids). Then, move on for tamales, enchiladas, quesadillas and fish tacos. Again this year, we’ll end up at Jim and Carol’s house for fried ice cream.
Silas will be serenading us with his guitar and we’ll all be singing along. It’s a special day for us – quickly becoming (almost) equal to Christmas and July 4th. We hope it’s a special day for all of you as well!
Mucho cariño a todos y feliz cinco de mayo!
