I haven't been able to update the blog for awhile, because we have been having issues with Comcast. The Hubs finally got fed up and has them coming out tomorrow. Let's hope I can keep a connection long enough to post this entry...
We went to a Quinceanera Saturday for our friend's granddaughter. This is a fifteenth birthday celebration, and in the mexican community it represents her transition into womanhood. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and an evening of dancing and pageantry. At one point, she was seated on the dance floor, and presented with all sorts of symbolic gifts from her various sponsors (a prayer book, scepter, tiara, bracelet, earrings, ring, and doll). Her stepfather then removed the slippers she was wearing and put a pair of "grown-up" dancing shoes on her. Then he danced with her, followed by her mother, and all her friends. I remember thinking how sore her feet would be in the morning, after dancing in those new shoes all night. Welcome to womanhood, Alexis!
