I sort of forgot to take photos of this year's "Ocho de Mayo" celebration at the Miser Mom household. It was a lot like a previous year's "Siete de Mayo"; the date sort of slides around. So similar, except this year we had an even more wonderfully full house. Yes!
Fortunately, I have photos of my granddaughter (38 days old), so I can still illustrate the process of preparing a celebration. The first stage of course is thinking hard about when to hold the dinner, and also what to serve. Hmmmm . . . .

| Hmmm . . . what should Miser Nana cook for dinner? |
Here's a secret we'll share with you: the menu is pretty much the same as every year. Tacos!
 |
| Just between us; she keeps the menu and the music selection in her tickler file! |
This year, the best part of the evening was that we had Ocho people around the table! Whoop! Our new Y, both boys, me & my husband, my only homemade daughter, plus of course K-daughter and Baby A. It made us all happy to have so many people around to celebrate the evening. Truly a fiesta!
 |
| I love my many aunts and uncles, but I love my Nana best of all! |
We start the evening with a bit of rowdy dancing. ¡La Bamba! and ¿Que té pasa? are annual crowd pleasers in our family.
Then we sit down to lots of yummy food: rice, hamburger and beans, cheese, lettuce, bananas, and salsa. How was that salsa, Baby A?
 |
| Yoicks! Hot! But good! |
But all in all, we thought it was a good evening. What did you think, Baby A?
 |
| In my considered opinion, yes, it was a worthwhile gathering. I'll be back next year; maybe I can actually eat some of the food then! |
