Angel and I have this longstanding tradition every Cinco de Maio that I really think is incredible. Especially considering how long we've been doing it and how well we've executed on somehow remembering it every year tat we've been married.
We rarely have been this consistent at things, but Cinco de Maio is one of those holidays that are just too important on the list to miss out on, especially when it comes to tradition. I know alot of you out there are big traditionalist too and you probably think were old fashioned and all, but call us what you will, we just cant seem to get out of this fun pattern!
So every Cinco de Maio Angel and I get up in the morning and we go about our day as if nothing was different... Then about halfway through our day... (This is the best part) one of us says "Happy Cinco de Maio" then we go about our day and go to bed later that night!
Isn't that CRAZY? It's the best!
I for one just am amazed at how much fun we have.
Aside from all that silliness, this picture is an interesting one. Its actually my eye and that beautiful silhouette you can see is the apple of my eye (No, not the new iPhone silly) its Angel!
I had a HUGE grin on my face when we set this shot up and it always reminds me of how much our smiles include the rest of our face, not just our mouths. You cant see my mouth here, but you can "see" the smile.
So remember when you smile, do it like ya mean it and use all 36 muscles of facial expression:
Auricularis anterior (2)
Auricularis posterior (2)
Auricularis superior (2)
Buccinator (2)
Corrugator supercilii (2)
Depressor anguli oris (2)
Depressor labii inferioris (2)
Depressor septi nasi (1)
Frontalis (1)
Levator anguli oris (2)
Levator labii superioris (2)
Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (2)
Mentalis (1)
Nasalis (2)
Orbicularis oculi (2)
Orbicularis oris (1)
Platysma (1)
Procerus (1)
Risorius (2)
Zygomaticus major (2)
Zygomaticus minor (2)

What a superb tradition. We will have to get in on that one. :)
BTW, I could tell that was your eye. :) Good call on the silhouette. I didn't notice that until you mentioned it.
:)
Cute Brad! I didn't notice the silhouette either. Very clever.
Love,

Great Tradition!!
I guess I accidentally started one this year. We had the missionaries over for Tostadas and Apple Soda and Provolones and a Pinata, too. One of the missionaries sang us the Pinata song. That was fun. My kids will surely keep me to that every year now!!
...Especially the Pinata part.
um...that would be Polvorones...not the cheese
