4 January 2010: DAY 4 (WEEK 2)

the kids went to school. the house was a bit quiet. my husband was still on leave and he help me clean up in the house.
i received another card today...from DONNA!! thank you very much for your wonderful card!

when my husband picked up the kids from school, they bought a galette de rois to celebrate '3 kings'! the cake comes with a crown!!

so the cake is divided amongst the family members (or your guests if you are celebrating with friends and relatives). and whoever gets this tiny figurine (which is hidden inside the cake/pie) gets to wear the crown...and buys the galette for the following year!

apparently, my husband almost sliced the figurine, so we immediately found it....hahaha. and here is sofia trying on the crown!

and isabelle wanted to be the princess too so she wore the crown too!! so much for the tradition...we just wanted to enjoy the cake.
