Leslie and I agreed to have a Día de los Muertos party this year. We sent out invites about a month in advance – several invitees couldn’t show because of travel or previous commitments, but we still had a good turnout of about 15 people. The crowd mixed well and everyone had a great time. Leslie did a fantastic job doing most of the prep and decorating. We had an altar to honor those that passed.
There were cookies to decorate (see in the foreground below).
Since it was a pot luck, everyone brought great food. The featured image (top of this page) shows Cassidy’s Skull Pies – yum.
Some did face painting – check out the pictures (this is on my list for next year). Also on my list for next time is to brush up on my bar tending skills.
Leslie and I believe all had a great time, and I know that we did. With that said we are thinking about making this somewhat of an annual tradition. We are looking forward to the next one.
At the close of the party Annmarie (one of our invitees) gathered us all at the alter for those that wanted to talk about past loved ones – a very fitting moment to bring the event to a close.
