The power of the kings.

We celebrated The Three Wise Kings in my parents house, as the traditions says, the Kings or "Los Reyes" brought some presents to the girls, who put their shoes to be filled out. But this time (in our case), the kids get any thing the Kings want to give them, no petitions allowed.
This year the children got something special, a letter from the "orient" where the kings come from. Through this letter the "Wise Men" make some behavior recommendations, like be good and don't be too wimpy (Bidane), because really, one as a parent need some help from the big guys to support our every day sayings as, clean your room, pick up your toys, you don't need to cry for this, and so on.

By evening we had pieces of bread (called rosca de reyes) with hot chocolate, we were very happy to share this moment with my parents, sisters, my cousin Licho and my beloved aunt Luisa, who is big sister to my dad.
Tia Luisa is a great inspiration, she just have a great way to see things, you never have heard somebody describing sunsets as her. I have so many wonderful memories from her house, with banana, mango and avocado trees and she planting mint o talking with her birds, sewing or putting sugar in her coffee with delicate movements, trying not to hit the walls of her cup.
