A Flores Family Dinner

We had a lovely dinner on Friday night with my grandparents, sister, dad and little Klifford. His hungry eyes were killing me. Tad was a little scared to make Mexican food because my grandparents are tough critics, but his Creamy Poblano Pepper Soup was a hit. The only thing that lacked was homemade chile. My pineapple salsa just didn't cut the mustard. Did I mention Irene brought her homemade tortillas? I live for those.

Best part of the evening? Irene wouldn't leave until she washed every single one of the dishes. This is typical Irene nature. I wasn't complaining. When I worked retail, she would come visit me and next thing I knew she was folding all of the clothing. I would always laugh and insist she stop, but then I just embraced it. Hard working woman that one. We love having family over and can't wait to have more over again soon.

OUR FIRST DINNER PARTY

Tad and I hosted our first dinner party on Saturday night at the newlywed nest. We invited Tad's friend from law school, Alexander, and his sweet wife over for dinner as a token of appreciation for all of his help moving us in. Her friend was also visiting that weekend so she tagged along too. The more the merrier! Both girls are hairdressers. Of course I just love that (a little hair obsessed over here).

We made the fanciest fish tacos you've ever seen. This was our first dinner party so as you can see we went a little overboard. We're new at this. Next time you can probably expect to see more Tupperware dishes, less fancy schmancy. After I set the table, my job was basically done so I could just put my feet up, literally. Tad and Alexander grilled the fish and boy was it delicious.

Definitely eyeing the cutest vintage Siesta Ware on Etsy for summer dinner parties and barbecues. We can't wait to have more friends and family over soon. Summer get-togethers are calling our name.
