Cinco de Mayo aka My Own Personal Holiday

My birthday falls on Cinco de Mayo which has always been fun (especially since I am half Mexican after all). Every year of my life (except this year!) I ate my birthday dinner at Azteca, wore a sombrero and ate the free chocolate mousse... oh and enjoyed a few tequila shots once I turned 21.

This year I wasn't in much of a celebrating mood, but I was convinced to do a little something. So, I invited a couple of my close girlfriends over to spend the evening with me.

In true Alicia style, I had everything set up pretty ahead of time. 

I love entertaining, whether for 5 people or 50!

Of course, going with the theme of Cinco de Mayo, we had to have a taco bar.

And margaritas.

 

And lots of pictures... as usual!

We realized we all had pretty pink toes!

 

I love all of these ladies so much and they mean the world to me!
I am so glad I spent my birthday evening with them!
