FIESTA!!!!!!!

FIESTA TIME!!!!

We had SUCH a good time at our fiesta today. The girls and I started to decorate last night (ok, they ran around and played with the balloons while I hung up streamers).
And then I finished up this morning. This is a picture of the room before they woke up today.

Our display wall. If you notice, we also put sombreros and maracas on the balloons (the girls colored the pictures and we cut them out and taped them on)....

Display area: some worksheets the girls did these past 2 weeks, some of our art projects and some of the library books we enjoyed....

Here are the pictures they colored....

We put on some Mexican music while we started to make our food...here we are making Mexican wedding cakes...

The loot!

They had so much fun today. We all loved the homemade tortillas and I probably WOULD have liked the homemade tortilla chips-if the girls would have left me any (we only used PAM and salt on ours)! They have requested that I make those MUCH more often. They also loved the mexican wedding cakes (didnt use nuts), and the Apple Enchiladas.

I dont know if I have said it before but.....

I LOVE MY FATHER'S WORLD!!!!!!!
