Je suis la Reine!



Yay! I am Queen of the Day!

Today is Épiphanie which is the day that celebrates the 3 Kings coming to visit baby Jesus. Today, the French celebrate with a round cake (bunt-like) that is supposed to be symbolic of a crown. It is called a galette in French. They cut it up into different pieces and give each person at the party a piece of cake. If you find a little figurine (known as a fève) in your piece, you're the King or Queen of the day! (And you have to buy a cake for everyone else.)
Cali and I both found the figurines in the two cakes. Hers was a fisherman and mine was a dude sleeping. I don't know if Cali likes to fish, but I sure do like to sleep.

I got a golden crown. :D
