Dia De Los Muertos

 This was our second year celebrating the Day of the Dead. It was poignant because we added Grammy and my cousin Trey Andersen to the ofrenda. 

Breezy and my mom leveled us up this year! My mom brought over coloring pages and cute colored flags leftover from her award-winning Frida Kahlo trunk or treat get up. We also found this great tablecloth at her house for it. Breezy let us use her collection of skulls and got some Mexican sweet breads and candies for us to try. We listened to a Dia de los Muertos playlist while cutting up paper to decorate the frames. Then, we lit a candle next to each picture and told stories about the people on the ofrenda. It was so nice.

We left it up for a few days. My Papa came over for Sunday dinner and was happy to see his parents and wife on the ofrenda. He was able to tell me some stories about his parents.
