Cinco de Mayo!


Let's just say pictures were rather hard with Grace this morning. She had her own idea of what she wanted to spend her time doing. I'll try again tonight. Auntie Brenda sent this dress out and since Grace is of Mexican heritage we had to make sure she represented. I think she looks adorable!

Cinco de Mayo
This Mexican holiday celebrates the victory of 4,000 Mexican soldiers against 8,000 French forces on the morning of May 5, 1862. A common misconception is that Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico's Independence Day. That day is in fact September 16th.

The battle of Cinco de Mayo took place at the town of Puebla, 100 miles east of Mexico City. According to Viva Cinco de Mayo, the French army attacked Mexico City, assuming that the Mexican army would surrender if their capital city was taken
