We just had our Día de los niños celebration today, and I posted about it here: http://snapshotsofmrsv.blogspot.com/2009/05/dia-de-los-ninos-celebration.html
I remembered that you had asked me about how we did our celebration before, but I did not know a lot about it yet since it was my first year.
