Cinco de Mayo

Happy Birthday to my 12 year old!!! Cameron is our Cinco de Mayo baby, as he enjoys pointing out every year on May 5th...as well as letting us know that he was also born on the Chinese holiday--Kite Day.


When we lived in the states, we used to offer to host a Fiesta-themed birthday party for Cameron and he was never interested. Now, when we are in Denmark, he decided at the last minute that it would be "cool" to have a Fiesta party. Here in Denmark where you can't find any Fiesta-themed party decorations or paper ware!! So, with 24 hours before his party, I began whipping up party decorations with all of the craft supplies I had here at home (all of the stores were closed).



I pulled it off and here are pictures from his party...

The deck outside of the kitchen provided extra space

It was a beautiful day and the kids had FUN, especially with the pinata and when they had relay races with the "Mexican Jumping Bean"...a great group of kids!! Randell took Cameron to the concert and Cameron really enjoyed himself. A perfect and very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
