By Vixenmade @vixenMade
Hey everyone!So, it looks like I am behind on my posts.  Yikes.  Sorry about that.Y'know how summer goes.  It always flies.  Well, that is my excuse.  A busy, fun filled summer!  How was yours?!
Let's start where we left off shall we?Last party I posted was back in April.  There's been so many parties since then, you guys.So next up was a last minute party, on May 5th to be exact.That's right.Cinco De Mayo, my friends!  Ole!
I decided to have a fun mexican night with the family.  We started off with mexican food.   Tacos, of course.Then moved on to have a few treats.  And because I literally planned it in one day, I totally cheated on these.What do you expect, right?I decorated with what I had, napkins for the front garland, leftover fabric and streamers for a backdrop.  So easy.Add in some decorative pieces I had on hand and here you have it.
