     On May 5th my family celebrates Cinco de Mayo.  First we go to church, then we have a special dinner with all kinds of different food.  We eat enchiladas, tacos, sopa, and my aunt makes a special punch that is delicious.  We wear clothes that are to color of the Mexican flag, red, white and green.  We like to listen to ranchera music and celebrate this happy time with our family.

     My family celebrates Cinco de Mayo by having a party, eating Mexican food and dancing Mexican dances.  We sing songs and a dance we like is called La Zapatiya.  My mom makes tamales and enchiladas for us to eat.  That is how we celebrate!
