cinco de mayo

Today is cinco de mayo. It is a holiday that is celebrated more in the U.S. than in Mexico. I think we celebrate it here because it is easier to say than deisiseis de septiembre, the actual independence day in Mexico. Although, if I remember right, there are several independence days celebrated in Mexico.

We have a going away party for the boys after school and a ward party tonight at the church. Aaron had to go to San Antonio at the last minute for work, so I've have to attend both of them on my own. It is going to be one long, busy day.
