Checo's birthday/Dia de muertos

My Dad's birthday was Nov 2nd, we celebrated it with the whole fam (almost) just the way he wanted it. Again we went to Cam and Leech's house .It was a lot of fun sice we also celebrated "the day of the dead" (Mexico) because we want our kids to know about mexican traditions, since they've never been to that Country. So we set up what we call an "altar de muertos" where we remember our family that has passed away by setting up a table with foods that they like, candles, sugar skulls, flowers, decorations etc.. Ours turned out really nice for being the first time

My daddy. He's 54 now!
