fieeesta!

It occurred to me last night (while I should have been sleeping) that I never posted about our little family fiesta.

It took place all of 48 hours after returning home from Mexico, and by the demand of my Cousin A it was "going to happen, NOW!"  If you know our family you know that A controls our doings.  This is much to my chagrin...she stole my youngest child spotlight eight and a half years ago.  I might still be bitter. 




I made this sign for the Fiesta.  Sometimes I need to let my creative side run wild and I really have nowhere else to do that.  

 

I had to take a picture of all of the dips involved in our fiesta.  Oh my word was that guacamole delicious.  I made it and I have never been so satisfied in my life.  (I learned a few secrets down in Mexico to make it that good!)



That would be my lovely Brother and A's little sister E.  E is in LOVE with my Brother, she thinks he is just the greatest thing since sliced bread!



That is A.  My little spotlight stealer.  Thief.  

No, but really I love her.  She idolizes me.  It works!



E is the comedian of our family.

She has been known to say "shut the front door" at the dinner table.  Or giggle uncontrollably for no reason.  She is a mess. 



E also happens to be as uncoordinated as the rest of us, and hasn't gotten the hang of getting on for a piggy back ride.  Were working on it. 



Just for good measure my Aunt J from Virginia bought the girls a pinata and filled it with the best loot ever!



The look A is giving her Mom in this picture absolutely describes her.  She is in those lovely almost pre teen years, there is a lot of eye rolling.  I choose to laugh and pray for her Mother!



That's the loot.  Loofahs, ring pops, necklaces, bracelets.  Not the junky loot that I am used to. 

Apparently stealing my thunder paid off.
