Spencer is taking Spanish at school this year. In their class this week they were assigned to build altares (altars) to honor a deceased loved one for the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). I didn't even know Spencer was working on this until he brought it home and I just thought it was beautiful. He built this altar to honor his Grampy Trujillo and was able to tell about Grampy's life and his memories of him. Later that night, I bought some pan de muerto (bread of death) to eat at dinner. The kids loved it, just like they love everything at the mexican market.
