Party Recap

My son had only two requests for his party this year: Tacos and chips. To a party designing Mom, this translates to FIESTA! These 12 year-old boys love video games so the "location" was Jacob's Cantina AND Video Game Lounge.

This was an easy, fast and inexpensive party to do at home. My daughter and I had a fun trip to the Mexican market but you can find Jarritos and Mexican cookies just about anywhere - so good and really inexpensive! The cupcakes were made at home and embellished with chili pepper candies. We also had a great time making tissue paper flowers, mini chili pepper pinatas and toilet paper roll pull pinatas.
