Little Christmas

This past weekend we celebrated "Little Christmas", also known as the "Day of the Three Kings" or Epiphany , with Victor's mom. This was the first year for Tristan to celebrate this holiday since he was so little last year.

On the night of December 5th I took Tristan over to Mildred's house so that he could complete his "preparations" to celebrate Little Christmas. As tradition goes, January 6th is the last day of the 12 days of Christmas, with the 12 days actually beginning on Christmas day. In order to celebrate the three kings arrival kids fill a shoebox full of grass for the wise men's camels and the wise men leave a gift in return. Tristan filled his shoebox full and even filled one for Parker and then put them under Mildred's Christmas tree.







On Sunday, the 6th, Victor, Tristan and I went with Mildred to a festival in downtown San Antonio to celebrate the day. There was live music, a short skit and an appearance by the three kings themselves. We had a really great time and Tristan got all sorts of attention...mostly because during the music performance he went in the middle of the floor and started dancing and continued on the entire time. What a little showoff!

Afterwards we all went to the Rainforest Cafe to eat and check out the animals (fake of course).
