Amigos, Amigos, Amigos

Cinco de Mayo...gringo style...well actually, it could be argued that Cinco de Mayo is already a gringo holiday. Cinco de Mayo commemorates a victorious battle by the Mexicans in Puebla in 1862 against the French. It is mostly celebrated in the U.S. as a day to recognize Mexican heritage and culture. 

or...it's just an excuse to have a fun evening with friends. We celebrated it a day early. 

Happy Cuatro de Mayo! 

Abraham, our authentic Mexican, otherwise known as one of my favorite men! He calls me beautiful all the time because President Monson told him to. Good man!

And what party would be complete with out a swing?

The THREE AMIGAS!

Jumping for joy, Michelle was very happy to be celebrating. She may be Gringa on the outside, but she is most certainly Latina on the inside!

And who can make jumping on a trampoline look graceful in a skirt other then the fabulous Melissa! Now that takes skill!

Building a fire, such a manly thing to do! But first he had to save a cute little lizard hiding in there. 

Mission accomplished! Fire!  Looks like Nick is on fire, but I assure you he was not.

Some people just like the marshmallows.

And some people like the smores.

And some like to roast the smores!

We were even lucky enough to have Danny Draper, future Mr. Dr. Draper, join us!

This handsome co-host fit the part with his rugged facial hair going. He looks like he belongs outdoors next to a campfire. Jeremy's tip for the evening- optimal time for melting chocolate on the s'more is 2 minutes once the roasted marshmallow has been put between the graham crackers. Works every time!

Sierra was our entertainment. This dog is faster then a speeding bullet! She was all tuckered out by the end of watching "The Three Amigos" and crashed next to Michelle on the floor.

Can my life get any better? I can't think of a better way to have spend my Cuatro de Mayo then with these wonderful friends. They are some of my favorite AMIGOS on the planet!
