To that end, I made a lot of homemade decorations out of construction paper, including these paper ‘sugar skulls’ (which I left up through Dia de los Muertos). The ones in the top row are the ones I decorated; the bottom row my wife, Jennifer, decorated. The blanks one in the middle—I made a ton of those and gave them to the kids to decorate themselves, and they loved them so much they left their paper skulls hanging in the hallway for a week afterward.”

That is really a wonderful story. I think the holiday meant that much more to the kids that you took the time for them to make these decorations for them. It would be wonderful to see some more of the other finished skull if you happened to have taken more pictures. Thanks for being part of Skull-A-Day and best wishes for the New Year.
