Mexican Costume Birthday Party

Our family was invited to attend our cousin Cameron's 25th birthday party. We were to dress up as Mexicans because it was Mexican Independence day. Sean was really excited about this because he LOVES costume parties. He grew out mustache and beard for this event. As you can see, he looked so different as a brunette (or black hair, is there a word for that?) I just put some really heavy make up on my face although in pictures, it doesn't really look like I did. The funniest part was Matt. We just put a bandana around his head and drew a mustache on him and everyone loved how he looked. We had some laughs!! Well, here are some pictures from the party. Enjoy!






I was going to go as a pregnant girl too but good thing I didn't, right?

Cameron and Melissa as Mexican gangsters..


Those dogs were crazy...



Wow... still can't get over how different he looked that day..

Another funny expression of Matt..





The dogs were funny, they were all over Aunt BJ. Matt is not fond of dogs so he cries every time he is around dogs... The Bunton family doesn't really like pets so I guess Matt gets that from us.

wow, you should warn mexican-americans like us not to view your post. it might just hit some nerves. too bad you guys just portrayed the mexican gangsters. there are amazing mexican painters, writers, actors, opera singers, doctors, grandmothers, mothers, children, dancers, teachers, engineers, who have changed the world for the better. it's interesting that i come from generations of proud mexicans and i don't think i've ever seen one of them wear a bandana or look the way you guys portrayed. i know that "cholos" do exist and i have seen the stereotypical people you guys dressed up as, but believe me there is more to us than that. mexicans are amazing people and it's too bad you guys only see us as that. sorry about the rant, it just hurt.

You did look a big Chicana. Before you lived in the Corner House, we had a dress up party, and we were white trash. I think you may have seen a picture.
