Day of the Kings

I prefer to forget this day.

3rd January (Friday)

In the morning, I bought presents for people of my family and my family-in-law.
We usually celebrate the secret Santa so everybody gives a present and everybody gets a present.
For Peter's nieces, we usually give them illustrated books for children. But anyone can enjoy this book because the drawings are very beautiful. We think they are a good present.
We usually give them colored pencils, markers or coloured chalks and after they play with some presents, on January the 6th, they rest calmly drawing on a table.

I gave Peter a Valencia Basketball season ticket. He started to enjoy it before the King's Day, of course!

After finishing our purchases, we decided to go for lunch in a restaurant where we can eat "calçots" (they are a kind of onion) with a special sauce "romesco". They were delicious! This is a typical dish from some towns of Tarragona.

In the afternoon, I worked at home. I need to finish a book which I must correct. I want to send it before Monday.

1st Day of the Year

We met my relatives in my parents' house for dinner. Today it was my father, my brother and my sister-in-law saint's day and every year we celebrate this date with all my relatives.

In the morning, in my in-laws' house, we put together a Scalextric, so we will all enjoy it next 6th of January, and we put together a basketball basket, but we are in the half way. We will continue tomorrow.
