I FINALLY went to my first "Quince Años!" Most of you probably know that in Latin America, many girls have a large party for their 15th birthday. Now days (in QRO anyways) a lot of girls decide they'd rather go on vacation to the beach, or have a big slumber party instead of the traditional party. So that's why I'd never been to one yet!
Well, my little friend, Fatima, had her 15th birthday party a couple weeks ago. First, we had a service at the church, where Martin (the pastor) gave a message of encouragement to Fatima and all those present. Then Fatima was presented with a Bible and a necklace from adults who are like second parents to her.
And of course, after the service we went to a Salon de Fiestas (a large area where birthday parties and wedding receptions are held) for dinner, cake, the traditional Quinceaños waltz, and lots of dancing. (For those of you who just freaked out at the word "dancing," not to worry, it was nothing sleazy, mostly traditional mexican dances, line dancing, and a pretty good selection of music from the 50's.)
And the party goes on... and on and ON! I left about 12:30, and there were lots of people there until after 2am!
I enjoyed my first 15th birthday party!!
