Not a Cinco de Mayo party

As some of you may already know, we had a little get-together in my place last Saturday to celebrate Julia’s, Karine’s and my birthday. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Since most of yesterday was spent cleaning and sleeping, I have not uploaded any photos. I’ll try to do that tonight.
