Our Cinco de Mayo boy turned one and we celebrated big with a Cinco de Mayo themed party in our backyard. It was wonderful! I decided to make everything for our guest of 40, with the help of my parents and Dan's parents of course! The menu included beef and chicken enchiladas, pulled pork, grilled corn on the cobb with lime, mexican style beans, black bean and corn salsa and all the usual Mexican fixings. It was all delicious and we have plenty of left overs. The decorations were easy and festive. If you every want to throw a Cinco de Mayo party here are a few things I recommend. Use sombreros as vases for plants, string Mexican flags across the yard, and hang lanterns from the trees. I also made a center piece with tissue flowers and used a huge sombrero as a chip bowl. It was easy and cheap decor, but ended up looking great!
Drake loved his cake and had help eating it by some of his friends and cousins. Teacup was even skyped in for the cake eating event...notice the computer in one of the pics!The party was a hit, but I am definitely exhausted today. I cannot believe our baby is one....and sleeping thru the night...in his own crib I might add:)
