January 6th was the "Día de los Reyes" celebration for the niños of México. The centro was overflowing with globos (balloons) on the 5th in preparation for the celebration. In order to receive the gifts you want the kids write their wishes on slips of paper attached to the balloons and let them go into the clouds above for the "Reyes" to read. Javier, el niño en our casa got a balloon too, but he is still a bit young and kept it to play with. We also ate rosca (a sort of fruit cake) on the 6th. It has miniature figures of baby Jesus baked inside, and the person who cuts a slice with the baby will have good luck for the rest of the year. I didn't get one, but Kristina did!
