We always celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Always. It's a great reason to eat some yummy Mexican food, and listen to some fun Mexican music. This year was no different. The Godbouts came over for dinner, and we had some DELICIOUS dip and chips ( gracias, Kristy) and some DELICIOUS burritos and beans (gracias, Andre). The only thing we forgot to do this year was take pictures....UGH! Boo on us. Hope everyone enjoyed the day with a cold corona. :)
ummm, I was wishing I had some of Andre's flautas last night as I was making the enchiladas. Yummm.
