Ocho de Mayo Housewarming





We invited everyone for a mexican potluck and serious sangria drinking last Saturday night. John was working, Malinda and Alex were in Iowa, and Jill was busy being a mom, but everyone else made it.  Guess we'll have to have another...



We started outside on the patio while it was still nice, but, ummmm, it's not quite summer yet. So when it got chilly, and dark, we commenced with our final outdoor activity before heading inside- pinata!!!!!




Many attempted, and honestly, I don't even remember who broke it open? But lots of dark chocolate, magnets, bungee cords and pens fell out.  Ben discovered that all of the candies were easily whipped at my head. Mean Ben.                                                                                                                                   
Afterwards, there was a lot of yelling (it's a game called Outburst, but does sound a little like a riot when we play it), and a lot of dessert eating: berry crisp, vanilla ice cream with dulce de leche and chocolate wafers, and the infamous mint chocolate hand pie!
