fiesta fun

Sorry, I've been a bit silent the last week, but I was in the middle of prepping for my daughter's birthday party. Here are just a few of the snapshots taken at our little Cinco de Mayo birthday bash.


the invitation mail out


the invitation, inspired by this birthday greeting I spotted.


the fiesta buffet







the icing on the cupcakes I made was literally sliding off, due to the extreme heat from the five minute ride from the house to the party.

cascarones!


me and my little miss cinco de mayo


and finally me taking one last picture with the pinata before it was busted to pieces.

It was such a windy day, which made hanging all the banners and fringe streamers just impossible! But that's West Texas for you and we made due, as we always do. It was still a fun time and the breeze actually kept us cool.

How did yall celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

    1. Yes, I did make the invitations with some help from a graphic designer friend and my mom who sewed the crepe paper on to the cardstock. Thanks, I'm glad you like!

    1. Thank you. I saw something similar on pinterest and made my mom decorate it like that. I created the mini-banner myself.
