Happy King's Day!

Happy 3 King's Day; King's Day; Twelfth Night; Epiphany! Which ever one you use. As a New Orleans native, today means the start of Carnival season for me. Today, January 6th, is the first day you can get King Cake! Even though I am in Vegas now, my heritage still holds a special place in my life and I want my kids to embrace it as well.

Today, we will celebrate with a little Dora, Saves Three King's Day. Playing a few games and the beloved King Cake.

Nickelodeon has some cool Dora printables for today, go here.

Here is a great easy recipe I found for a shortcut to mini King Cakes. Visit here for a coupon on the Pillsbury rolls. We will be enjoying them today!

Here is a little background info, if you need a reason:

Twelfth Night is a festival in some branches of Christianity marking the coming of the Epiphany and concluding the Twelve Days of Christmas.
A king cake (sometimes rendered as kingcake, kings' cake, king's cake, or three kings cake) is a type of cake associated with the festival of Epiphany in the Christmas season in a number of countries, and in other places with Mardi Gras and Carnival.

In Louisiana, Twelfth Night also signifies the beginning of the carnival season, which ends on Mardi Gras Day. The festive Mardi Gras King Cake is an essential treat at any authentic Mardi Gras celebration. Most recently, a small plastic baby figurine is hidden within the King Cake for a lucky person to find. During carnival season, the person who gets the baby is expected to keep the good times rolling by hosting the next Mardi Gras/King Cake party.
