Day of the Dead

I love this holiday. It is full of beauty and meaning. So we’ve adopted it into our family’s traditions. This year we took in the celebrations at the Seattle Center. The dancing and music was the kiddo’s favourite part. I got a cool shirt with a bunch of skeletons riding a bicycle. :)

We came home and made our own altar honoring our own family members. Mina quickly had the idea to include a picture and food for her Daisy, the sweet baby chick that we lost in the spring.
