Dia de los Muertos with Allie's Familia

Allie's family helped us celebrate Dia de Los Muertos this year. Carlos, Allie's Papa, read I Remember Abuelito, Yo Requerdo Abuelito.We enjoyed the most delicioso South Mexican Tamales, sweet Pan de Muertos (delivered all the way from Mexico), and some savory Abuelita's Hot Chocolate. Allie's Mama, with a handful of girls in her lap, also read a story called Dia de Los Muertos.

¡Muchas Gracias por compartir su cultura con nosotros! Thank you for sharing part of your culture with us!

What a beautiful day! I'm so glad Gwen got to celebrate Dia de los Muertos with her friends. Maybe someone can give me a tamale-making lesson? ;)
