3 Kings Day

Olivia and I celebrated 3 Kings Day with our Gymboree friends.  Our friend Liliana hosted the event at her house with moms and babies.  It was fun to see all the babies playing together.  Liliana even made crowns for all the babies.  It was really cute.  We had fun.  The best part was that we had rosca de reyes which has the  tradition of placing a bean, candy or figurine doll of the or Christ Child inside the cake. Whoever finds it must take it to the nearest church on February 2, Candelmas Day (Día de la Candelaria). People who find the figurines in their piece of the cake usually agree to host a party on February 2 and to provide the guests with tamales.  Well I found one baby and Michelle found the other.  We are going to have a party on February 10th and make tamales...I have never made them before but there is a first time for everything!

Here I am with my crown on
