Coco fiesta

Zephyr is in love with Coco and of course this was a great opportunity to explore many areas of our Hispanic heritage. We decorated with many influences of dia de los muertas with our little alter for Hector (he worked so hard to be on the ofrenda) and some fun and festive lotteria decorations. We put a lot of hard work into our parties so a majority of what you see is DIY from the large painted paper flowers to the hand painted guitar. Mom is a boss at pastries and she made every desert as well as the food.
