Today is a celebration!

Today is a holiday. In Mexico, today (Thursday) is the "Dia de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead." It is basically a celebration of the lives of our loved ones that have passed on. You certainly don't have to BE Mexican to celebrate this day, as we ALL have friends and/or family that have passed away. People sometimes set up mini "altars" to remember the dead with pictures, flowers, and any special thing that person may have loved during their lifetime.

Mr. Shorty Cake lost his dad a few years ago, and my grandfather passed away earlier this year. We miss them dearly, but we have so many great memories of them both! I am posting a pic of the altar I made.....as it is just a small way to remember them.
