Happy 100th independence day Finland!

We had a nice evening with our Dutch friends. After that we watched a bit of the main event - the party at our presidents castle - which is televised every year. Then we took the trash and the dogs out :-)

I took this photo of the Los Reyes Magos de Oriente. The Magician Kings of the East that they put on our first roundabout when you enter our village.

Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar are the ones that bring presents to Spanish kids after Christmas. Every year, during the early morning of January 6th, the Magician Kings of the East go to the children's homes to give them their gifts, just as they brought gold, incense and myrrh to the baby Jesus. But now days in a lot of families they get small gifts during Christmas as basically does the rest of the Europe.
