What's up, amigos? It's Ronnie Anne here
with a very special edition of my vlog.
Today we're celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
with a sneak peek at some
of my favorite Mexican traditions.
Hey, Bobby, can you turn it down?
I'm filming my vlog.
Muchísimas gracias.
Oh, look who dropped some love in the group text.
It's Lincoln Loud!
Ready for some solid gold Mexican American hits?
Celebra con nosotros, because first on my list
are favorite Mexican tradition's holidays.
Looks like Linc is ready
to stroll down tamale memory lane,
a place I often go to when I'm hungry.
Oh, what's this?
Ooh! What's up, Carl?
Say hi to my cousin Carl, everyone.
He just sent some tamales and I know he's not
the only tamale fan out there.
I just have to counter with some pan dulce emojis.
One second, guys.
That settles that.
I love all of our holidays,
but I have to say that Día de los Muertos
has a very special place in my heart.
It's a day we remember all of our loved ones
with their favorite foods, songs and stories.
I honor my papá by putting out all the things he loved,
and I use incense candles and marigolds
to help guide his spirit back.
So where is he?
Well, he's in my heart.
You see, on this day, we think about our loved ones
and that keeps their memories alive.
So even if we don't see them, they're still with us.
Abuelas always know exactly what to say.
Ooh, Sid and Adelaide just joined us.
And Froggy 2!
Celebra con nosotros!
Speaking of celebración, remember that time
you joined us last minute for Christmas, Lincoln?
Linc wrote,
"Leave it to Vanzilla to bring us all together."
I got it!
Hola, Mrs. Casagrande.
We came to pick up Lori at college,
but Vanzilla broke down.
Would it be alright
if we hung out with you this Christmas?
We're going to need more masa!
[in unison] Dibs not!
Dibs not!
Chihuahua...
[laughing]
But since you missed out on the crazy day,
I thought I'd show you some highlights
from my favorite Mexican tradition, Nochebuena.
I mean, it's tamale season,
the most wonderful time of the year!
The tamalada is starting, we're going to make the tamales!
[cheering]
[humming]
Hector, the punch is for the whole family.
Oh, man, we had such a blast that day!
We even got to go around the neighborhood
for Las Posadas,
a Christmas tradition throughout Latin America.
♪ Vamos, amigos Welcome to our familia ♪
♪ Singing for you On this Nochebuena ♪
♪ Laughing, dancing Going door to door ♪
♪ If you give us some dulces We'll sing more and more ♪
Let's take a look at some texts here.
Linc says he's gotta ask Bobby for some guitar lessons.
Hmm... Are you sure about that?
Oh!
Bobby, are you okay?
Oh... Huh?
[grunting]
That must be dad!
- What? - My tongue is stuck.
[screams]
Oof.
[groaning]
[laughing]
Amazing!
Luckily, Bobby's totally fine.
Oh, man, speaking of pain,
I've been learning a lot about the art of fútbol
from my Abuelo since moving out here.
He's a huge Gatos fan.
He's been a fútbol fan ever since
he was a little boy in Mexico.
Gracias, Hector.
Have a groovy day.
We were looking fly.
Now he's a proud owner of many jerseys
from here and Mexico.
Looks like there's a lot of fútbol fans in the group.
Linc's requesting a Gatos team jersey for Lynn.
Hmm, I'll have to ask my abuelo.
We definitely don't have any shortage
of baile folklórico dresses.
Never mind the masa dress, it's time for the real deal.
These sure are bright...
Oh, but this one's pretty cool.
Oh, that one belongs to my prima Esmeralda.
She was a rebel. We don't talk about her.
No, you will be wearing something much better...
My first dress!
[grunts]
[gasps] I knew you'd love it! Oh!
Carl and Sid are laughing it up.
Go on, go on.
It was definitely a step outside of my comfort zone.
Just wait until you see it with the makeup!
Makeup?
But baile folklórico is so cool and fancy
that I just had to try it out.
Turns out it's a lot of hard work, but it's totally worth it!
Hey, Ronnie Anne, nice dress.
Did you mean to look like a big old grape? [laughs]
Maintain the joy, you are unfazed.
Oh, I borrowed your skateboard. Hope that's cool.
And I also borrowed your phone.
[laughs] Just gonna post this.
[camera shutter sound]
Maintain the joy!
Well, I'll just let you guys get back to it.
I've got to finish reading your diary anyway.
I just got to the part about Yoon Kwan.
Whoa, this is PG-13.
[grunts]
Even if your Tía Frida is a pretty intense coach.
Ooh, speaking of competition, why don't we throw it
to an old family favorite: lotería!
[Sergio squawks] Another exciting game of lotería!
Hmm...
[suspicious squawking]
[squawks] From the sea! Shrimp!
[sighing]
Yes, I have it!
I'm getting the hang of this lotería game.
I only need one more to win.
Scorpion or mermaid. Scorpion or mermaid.
I love a good game of lotería with the fam.
Linc, I see you.
I'll definitely send you and your sister some to play.
Ooh, Carl reminded me two of my favorite lotería cards:
watermelon and spider, a.k.a., la sandía y la araña!
Don't test me, Carl.
[laughs]
Makes me think of the other best smells in the world,
the three T's: tamales, tacos and tortas.
It's like eating pure joy.
Whoa, I've never seen a red taco.
Rosa's secret birria broth turns them super red,
and super deliciosos.
[in unison] Ooh...!
Torta Fridays, best day of the week!
This looks delicious! I'm starving.
[laughs] Sid says I'm making her hungry.
I'll send you some leftovers.
Okay, okay. Now everyone is requesting
leftovers from my Abuela.
I'll get back to all of you on that.
But in the meantime, did I ever tell you
about when my misabuela Mama Lupe came to visit?
Hola, Mama Lupe. I'm so glad you came.
This is my goat, La... lito.
[chuckles nervously] We're inseparable.
Let me get you a seat.
[both gasp]
Oy, gracias.
Let me take those shoes.
Your feet must be tired.
[laughs]
Bobby loved being in traditional charro gear.
I got to remember to ask Mama Lupe
to teach me some lucha power moves, too.
And now for the Mama Lupe Lucha Libre Smackdown!
[grunting]
[gasping]
Still undefeated!
[bell rings]
Everyone loves Mama Lupe.
Looks like we have a lot of requests
for some lucha lessons.
I do know some luchadores in training.
Get ready for the lucha libre battle royale!
Featuring me, Carl el Chupacabra of Steel!
And El Super CJ!
[grunts]
Esto sí es lucha libre!
She's loving it.
[grunting] Ah! I got you!
Ah! Ha-ha!
Well, they're a little clumsy,
but at least they're embracing our family traditions.
Mmh, I'm trying to think if I got everything on my list.
[squawking and barking]
That's right, Sergio and Lalo,
my family loves to celebrate our culture through music,
and we've had so many great hits,
even from home!
You take after your abuelito in more ways than one.
♪ You're the greatest Greatest of all time ♪
♪ Mi amor So glad you're mine! ♪
♪ You're the greatest Greatest of all time ♪

Aw, doesn't get much better
than some fire ritmos with your loved ones.
Thanks for joining me for today's celebración.
For everyone at home, happy Hispanic Heritage Month.
From me, Ronnie Anne, adiós!
