Cinco de Mayo Fiesta

May 2, 2012 by • 8 Comments

What are your plans for Cinco de Mayo!?  Almost seven years ago to the day, I was holding my first baby boy {Big B} in my arms for the first time!  Every year since, I’ve been busy planning a special birthday party for him….until this year…Big B chose to take the guys in our family to the TCU baseball game this year in lieu of a party! With all this free time on my hands, I’m thinking I’m going to make some of our very favorite Fiesta dishes this Cinco de Mayo!!!  I can taste it now…especially those desserts…I love this Tres Leches Cake, Fabulous Mexican Churros and I’m pretty sure my kids will LOVE those darling Sombrero Cookies!!!  Yummy!!!

    I have a 7 year old son too– hope he enjoys his day out with the guys. Your ideas for cinco de mayo look great. I am posting a mango guacamole tomorrow that will be on our menu this weekend. I think I’ll have to try the tres leche cake in your post. Looks delicious.

    Those cookies are too cute! I saw them on Pinterest the other day. I’m having a big Cinco de Mayo party this weekend and thankfully all I have to make is the fajitas…everyone else is bring the rest!
