Dad's 50th Birthday Fiesta!

So the long awaited Fiesta was a HUGE success. My Mom and I are great planners if I do say so myself. And my Dad enjoyed himself to no end and that was the whole point.

But instead of me babbling on and on... I will just show you:

My sister and I getting all dolled up


My sister-in-law's Mom was a cake genius once again! Now you know why we use her over and over to make ALL our cakes. Very "on theme"... what's more Mexican than a Sombrero?


My Daddy and his little Mexican Granddaughters...


My Mom hired a Charro to sing for a few hours. He was a good singer, he was funny, he acted well, and everyone liked him.


We had my Dad's favorite food in mind when we hired someone to make us a taquiza... Mmm the tacos were delish! As you can see the line was long for over an hour...


And what made it even better was all the people who made it out. Family, friends from the Harley Club, friends from the Mustang Club, old friends, work friends... My Dad is very loved.


I loved seeing people we haven't seen in a long time! My Mom's friend Madline is crazy, and funny, and one of the best people!


Here I am with my Parentals... Dashing aren't they?


Here I am with my sister... And I'm not fat... I'm pregnant.


And of course the love of my life... who decorated and worked his butt off helping us set up for the party. He's amazing.


We did a surprise dance for my Dad who had NO idea that we had that up our sleeves. A few of the women and girls in our family got together and we learned a simpler version of a "florklorico" dance... with 2 of us prego and three 8 year olds we needed to at least look good. (When I get a hold of the video I will post it as well) Thanks Tia Chely for teaching us all the routine!






My Dad's family. Mom. Sisters. Brother.


Diego got an opportunity to get a dance with Grandpa


The drunkos singing "Happy Birthday"... okay so maybe my Dad was the only drunk one... but at least he's the only one that held his liquor the whole night! Funny cuz my Dad's not a huge drinker.


What can I say... We're Camera Hogs... We can't help it when good looks run in the family...
Oh sisters...


Some Noriega clan


Some Melo Clan



And what Fiesta is complete without Pinatas?!



It was a looooong night. But a great one!
