The kids received gifts from the Three Kings on Dia de Los Reyes (Jan. 6). Children leave out one shoe, and the three kings fill them with toys and a letter. What special "royal" neighbors we have! Carmen and Alejandro left gifts in the kids shoes with precious letters for them to read in Spanish!
Rosca de reyes (The Kings crown) is a bread that is served on this day. Inside are small plastic babies representative of the baby Jesus. Whoever receives the first piece of bread with a plastic baby is the person who is to host the next fiesta on February 2nd when Mexico's celebration of Navidad officially ends.
We celebrated El Dia de Los Reyes with the Cottrill Family, another missionary family here in Cuernavaca.
