Having a reason to celebrate has never been lost on this crowd and since our dear friends Marty and Maribel are proud Mexicans, they invited us over for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. I have learned in the past if Maribel is cooking it is not wise to pass up on her food. She is an amazing cook. Poor things had to travel far and wide in New England to secure carne asada but their effort was not lost on the Coyers. Maribel made homemade refried beans, salsa and rice while Marty grilled up quesadillas, pollo asada and carne asada. We were in Mexican food heaven. We spent the whole day playing games out in their yard and eating as much as possible. They even had maracas and somberos for everyone and even a piñata for the kids. We have some awesome friends!
Look good Toddi!
Tequila. This was our addition to the party. When we were in Seattle we were gifted with a bottle of this really nice tequila from Todd's parents from a trip they took to Mexico. We thought it was a great excuse to break it out. Thank you so much Mom and Dad!
It was a big hit. Cheers!

Maribel, Estelle and TiffenyI'm going to be honest, Cinco de Mayo is now officially in my top 5 holidays. ::sips on her margarita::
