Behold our "Warm Fuzzy Jar!" The way it worked was this: Every time the boys did a kind deed for another person they put a "warm fuzzy" pom pom into this vase. We promised them a celebration once the jar was filled to the top.
(We aren't all that original, I heard about this idea at church. You can find it here.)
With food barely spicy enough to be called Mexican, and the best decor 1974 had to offer we celebrated at Denver's famous Casa Bonita.
(Seriously, Velveeta has NO place in ANY restaurant!)
But it's amazing what a bunch of fake palm trees and an indoor waterfall can do for three kids.
Throw in a pinata, a puppet show, and a guy dressed in an ape suit, and
VIOLA! a great warm fuzzy celebration!
So despite the chips that tasted like cardboard
(how do they manage to get CHIPS so wrong???) It really was a fun night!

We went to Casa Bonita a while ago when my sister was visiting and wow it is quirky! I totally agree that the food was bad, but my kids totally loved it and still talk about that place!
My kids are on board with Casa Bonita! They love that place! Glad you guys had fun!
We used to go to Casa Bonita when we visited my grandparents growing up! We loved putting up the flag to get more soapillas.
I still can't figure out how a "restaurant" can punch so much ambience with such terrible food. The salsa is like ketchup with water.
It is about the atmosphere, not the food. And it is sooooo expensive too! But the kids love it and I love looking at the eye candy they hire as divers!
Sounds like fun and a great idea!
The sopapillas are their only redeeming quality!
