Our Fiesta

So, Mexican Independence Day was on the 16th of September.  To celebrate this special occasion and also as our first new house introduction, we had a party on Saturday the 17th! I had a really great time.  Thanks to everyone that came.  

We had corn on a stick, just like in Nacho Libre.  It was Delicious!  Who knew a little mayo, cheese, and chili would be so amazing on corn?!  Choco also had the fabulous idea of making a beautiful Mexican flag out of watermelon, jicama, and cucumbers.




 People brought a variety of salsas and other food and Choco made guacamole.  We even had some horchata.  Overall, the food was so great.  We also made a beautiful pinata, in the shape of a house.  It was fun to sing the pinata song (or pretend to sing the words since it is in Spanish :) and watch everyone take a wack at it.  Charades followed, boys vs. girls.  It got dark quite early, so we had to bring a couple lamps out.  But we had a really good time!  Viva Mexico!
