Here is Tia slaving over the empanadas in DeNae's SUPER hot kitchen! (It was almost 90 degrees in there!!)
Here are my amazing friends out here; Tia (Tanya but everyone calls her Tia), DeNae (holding Koyo, Chisa baby), Bonnie, Me, Chisa and Stephanie. I love you girls!!!
This week for FHE we talked about our heritage and decided to make a pinata for our party (since I am part Mexican). DeNae and Ellie finished it and I thought it looked pretty awesome!! (BTW Ellie is an 11 year old girl in DeNae's ward who we adore and helps out a ton!!) The kids couldn't wait to have a swing at it. Stan and Nathan B. held it up while Joel helped the kids bat.
Koyo thought it was super funny and was all smiles when his daddy helped him whack at it!
Lily didn't need any help. She grabbed that bat and went straight for it! GO Lily!!
This is Lydia, she is adorable!
Ethan was sure he was going to smash it. We thought he would too, but not yet...
Luke was the one who ended up knocking it down. Each kid had two turns with 3 hits each and Luke knocked it down on the first of his second turns.
The dads helped all the kids get some candy and made sure everything was fair.
I just don't know what I would do if I didn't have these people in my life! It is great to be able to share these fun traditions and memories with such great people, thanks guys!! And Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
