~H~A~P~P~Y~ * ~B~I~R~T~H~D~A~Y~

to my sweet oldest daughter!!!! ... and Happy Cinco de Mayo too!

She is our little flower ... delicate, beautiful, blossoming, and in need of tender loving care and careful cultivation!

She is 6 today .... my how time flies! She's getting so big, but yesterday as she stood next to her 10 1/2 year-old cousin I realized how much she is still a little girl .

She chose a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta for her party theme. She didn't want a big party, though. Just family ... how sweet!

So here is what we're doing (oh, and for more great info and activities on Cinco de Mayo check out Annie's Cinco de Mayo page) .......

Appetizer/snack: chips and salsa (how easy is that?)

Dinner: tacos (again, how easy is that?)

Decorations: making tissue paper flowers, mexican sombreros and fiesta table decorations; we'll also make some papel picado banners to hang around the house.

Activities: DD insists on having a pinata and so my husband said, "Why not?!" ... this should be funny ... all the adults trying to smash a pinata!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Happy Cinco de mayo!

Blessings!

~Heather
