You may have picked up on the fact that we were kind of excited for Halloween. Just a little bit. But that didn’t mean that we forgot today was Dia de los Muertos, a day that brings with it a whole different kind of celebration and a rainbow’s worth of bright, beautiful decorations and festivities.
