Cinco de Ocho... the Weekend in Review....

This weekend was busy with a lot of things... 

Date night with the Hubs, sewing... sewing... and more sewing for EttaGrace, 

church, phone chat with my beautiful Mama, and...

dun dun dun...

"Cinco de Ocho"!!!!

"Cinco de Ocho" started exactly five years ago (this year we actually celebrated "Cinco Cinco de Ocho"!)

What started as a simple Cinco de Mayo party, quickly turned into an off-beat annual tradition....

Exactly five years ago my girlfriends and I decided to throw a party for Cinco de Mayo... Unfortunatley, none of our friends were available on the 5th... turns out everyone was free on the 8th instead... So we sent out the invite encouraging all to attend our 1st annual Cinco de Ocho" party...

 

Only until half the invites had been sent out did we realize that we should have been inviting everyone to an Ocho de Mayo party.... Fortunately for us, none of the people we invited actually spoke spanish... The "glitch" in our translation ended up being a hit and "Cinco de Ocho" stuck!

So every year... on May 8th, we celebrate "Cinco de Ocho" instead of Cinco de Mayo
(let's be honest... that holiday is so over done... he he he....)
Where we serve the traditional "Cinco de Ocho" cupcake cake (thanks Carley), Elz-a-Bell's sangria, Si-Fri's perfect nacho cheese... and of course a pinata c/o Moi!

It was a good weekend friends... jam packed with "Cinco de Ocho" goodness and some Mama celebration!

How was your weekend friend?
