Uncle Roy's tractor was out and cousin Jacob helped James stand up on top. He was so proud.
Family gatherings with Mark's family are always a tight squeeze! Garages work perfectly for fitting (mostly) everyone in the same room. We also used my lanterns, Mexican blanket, and chili pepper lights.
Prior to the fiesta the men worked on roofing Roy and Shari's new garage. Mark had a blast and suffered only a little later from a sunburn across his lower back from bending over for hours.
Sopapillas were surprisingly easy to make...and SO good. Here's the recipe Lois picked out and I helped a little with.
There were flowers in the girls' hair....
...and on the tiki torches.
Fresh sopapillas.
After the Mexican feast, Grandpa organized a few yard games; wheel-rolling races and tug of war!
The girls won this round with the help of Uncle Paul.
these two cousins are exactly two years apart. James adores his cousins.
James was very excited about his first pinata experience!
