¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!


For those of you who don't know it, today is Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico, Central America, and other Latin American countries. They have pretty cool celebrations to remember their departed loved ones on this day. (They believe their departed loved ones come back to "party" with their mortal friends and families on this day, so they put out their favorite foods, flowers, and so forth for them to enjoy.) I'm sure we're all still thinking a lot about Mama Marva. I made some Pan de Muertos using Mama Marva's recipe for refrigerator sweet rolls (the 'Cinnamon Roll' recipe).

Michael, Alisha, and Amy Adams were here this weekend because they wanted to have a family get-together with their brothers, Nathan and Tytus. We were all invited to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's yesterday for Tytus and Sharon's oldest little boy, Tytus Andrew, who will turn 3 years old on Tuesday. I think Steve took some pictures, so I will try to get him to post them later.
