Happy Cinco de Mayo!

In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, we had Abby wear her authentic Mexican dress on Sunday. We bought that little dress when we went to Cancun for our 1 year anniversary, long before kids were even in the picture. But I just thought it was so cute I couldn't pass it up and I probably paid way too much for it. But I didn't care. I knew it was cute at the time, I just didn't know how cute it could be once it was on my very own little Mexicana!

Did you know that...Cinco de Mayo is celebrated because it's the day the Mexican Army defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo is mostly celebrated in Puebla (Mexico) and the U.S. as a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride. It is not Mexico's Independence day. (Wikipedia)

When I worked at the college my Mexican (I mean straight from Mexico) student workers would ask me what Cinco de Mayo was...And I thought you're asking the white girl from Utah? Obviously they were not from Puebla...

So why not celebrate with the Mexican's and remember their heritage! So...

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
