Three Kings Day

The Wise Men brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Child, Jesus.
In Mexico, they celebrate the Magi's visit on January 6!
Inside Mexican bread, a plastic baby (the Child Jesus) is placed. A child who finds the baby, gets to be King or Queen for the day.
I guess Christina didn't find the baby in the Mexican bread.

Judging by Tara's plate, she didn't find the baby either!



No Queen Camila today.
It was Angela who found the baby in the bread!


There's that tiny little plastic baby.

After lunch and recess, Queen Angela requested a snack of tortilla chips and salsa.


To quench her subjects' parched mouths, root beer and ginger ale was brought out.


The Queen on her throne enjoying both beverages - she is the Queen after all!


The Queen also offered bits of chocolate goodness to her people. Yum!


Her reign ended with a pinata celebration that was enjoyed by all!



Before her reign completely ended, Queen Angela dubbed Tara as "Second in Command" (to the surprise of the Emperor - Mrs. Mellette)!!!


Josh with the loot he got from the pinata!


Such a fun day! And, what do we have to look forward to tomorrow: a Spelling Test AND a Pop-Quiz in Social Studies. What a second...I just told you that I'm giving you a Pop-Quiz, so I guess it won't be a surprise! hee hee
