My Day of the Dead baby shower




My birthday falls on Dia de los Muertos and my baby shower was about a week before, so when we were planning (yes, I worked with my sister to plan my own shower) Jen suggested Day of the Dead theme.

Brilliant!

This was my friend shower, taking place at my house -- food, drinks (non-alcoholic for me), fun, an easy celebration of my twins...and a chance for me to have a party before the babies get here.

Plus, I love the Day of the Dead message -- celebrating the lives of those no longer with us. These are people who won't meet my twins in this life, so it's a way to bring them together in thought and spirit.

Gifts for the twins!
