Day of the Dead

 The kids and I decorated our Day of the Dead altar.  All little goodies I won from this very lovely blog.

Banners, pictures, candy, candles, small Day of the Dead trinkets. 

and Pan de Muerto (Bread of the Dead).  

Friends from our block admired our altar, used to scary Halloween decorations...this was very different for most.  

Today, after school, we took a trip to Olvera street.

Admired all the beautiful decorations. 

and toys. 

Enjoyed taquitos with beans. 

Ate yummy Mexican candy.

Learned a whole lot about a most colorful culture.

And fell in love with all the beautiful faces.

Wishing all of your loved ones who have past away lots and lots of peace....

Happy Dia de los Muertos!

Treats

 We visited all our neighbors, and they gave us treats.  

They visited us too.  And everytime she heard the door knock she leaped out of her seat.  Yelled with delight when she saw kids dressed up and gave them little hands full of goodies. 

We all cuddled on the sofa as we watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

I hope all of you had as much fun with your loved ones.
