Our family loves to celebrate Day of the Dead in November. Not only is it such a fun, festive, colorful holiday, but we love the meaning behind this special day, of loving and remembering your loved ones that have passed on. It is such a sweet holiday, and I love that movies like Coco and the Book of Life are bringing more awareness to this beautiful culture and holiday.
My Mom's decorations are always something to be admired
I came dressed for the occasion.
My Mom cooked a delicious, Mexican inspired meal
And my dad baked a Mexican chocolate cake for dessert.
After dinner, my mom had prepared a fun art project for all the kids down in her magical craft room. They all got to draw and paint their own sugar skulls!
I appreciate and am grateful for all the different ways my parents have taught me and my sisters, and now all of their grandchildren, about different cultures. My mom knows how to make learning about a different country or culture so much fun and I am so grateful she takes the time to throw fun themed dinners like this for her family!
