this is Raquel (or more accurately, Raquel’s dress), whom we have known since she was very young, and who last night had a beautiful 15th birthday party, or quinceanera. we were delighted to be included in such a special celebration, and enjoyed the incredibly delicious food, and cake, and lots of laughter and family from afar and traditions I knew nothing of but appreciated immediately. her dress was lovely, and so was she; an elegant and delightful young woman in every way (I know with absolute certainty I didn’t have her poise at even 20.)
a few more photos on my flickr if you like.

Comment by estea August 1, 2007 @ 8:00 pmI can comment! And I love your shots of the quinceanera! Married into a Mexican family, so I hear all about our Tia Claudias “coming out” party and how with three boys I am so lucky to not have to throw them. I guess they must be akin to weddings *wink*. And had to comment on the chalk board below as well…wonderful!
