adios second year!

Second year is officially over!! What better excuse to have a party?!  We invited all of the residents over for a FIESTA to celebrate the end of another year of residency.  This is a huge milestone for the residents in Matt's year because there's quite a difference between the work hours, call schedule, and responsibilities of first/second year compared to third/fourth/fifth year.  We've been anticipating this day for a while, to say the least.  Henry, Scott, Matt, and Sarah have accomplished so much over the last two years and it was fun to get to celebrate with them!  

We had a fajita-style meal with the Pioneer Woman's Spicy Shredded Pork Shoulder ...

Since I forgot to take a photo of the finished product before it was all eaten, you'll have settle for this photo from her blog {of course, mine looked identical}

{recipe found here}

We had a pinata that was a hit with the kiddos,

{pun unintentional}

margaritas in mason jars,

and mary jackson's delicious margarita cupcakes.

Jake wasn't sure what to think of the festive lights,

 & Matt had a chance to try to convince sweet jane that he's not as dangerous as he appears (she's okay as long as the sophie doll is blocking her view)...  it's slow, but I think we're making progress :)

here we come, third year!
