Dia De Los Reyes

We just got back from our very first "Dia De Los Reyes" Celebration at Judy and Alex's. In a nutshell it is tradition to gather friends, make hot chocolate to serve with a "rosca" (very yummy sweet bread). The bread is baked with little baby Jesus's in it and whoever cuts into or ends up with a baby in their bread has the honor of hosting a tamale feed for all those present! The tamale feed takes place February 2nd.

Our hostess, Judy, Roz (who actually cut for George) and I all found babies in our bread so we will share the expense and pleasure of hosting the tamale feed.
