The Legend of La Befana

In Italy on the eve of January 6, an old woman with magical powers comes and visits the home of all the children.  If you have been good she often leaves candy or a toy.  But if you were bad the witch will bring you coal.


I guess because Silvio is with us this year we got visited by la befana.  We were all surprised!   Especially to find a letter from her written in Italian!!!  Silvio had to read it to us.


WOW I guess these kids have been good.....


They still look half asleep and super surprised as well!


She brought the new Disney Infinity game along with lot of characters and even some candy.
The kids all enjoyed hearing about and experiencing this Italian tradition!!!
