The French celebrate epiphany on 6th January with a "Galette de Rois" (or Kings cake, which celebrates the visit of the wise men to Jesus following his birth). This is a pastry dessert made from puff pastry with a frangipan filling. A fieve (small ornament) is hidden in the cake, and whomever finds it in their slice is crowned king or queen and adorned with a paper crown. We pay homage to this tradition every year, as our legacy from our time living in France and we invite a family over each year to help us celebrate. This year we had the Forsyth family over.
The girls helped me make the Galette de Rois.
Adam found the fieve and so was crowned king. He let Eden wear the crown though. We have some lovely friends and it is a real blessing to be able to spend time with great people, making happy memories.
