Quinceanera

My friends' daughter celebrated turning 15 years old, and keeping with Mexican tradition, they held a Quinceanera! We were so honored to be invited, and the girls and I thoroughly enjoyed all the unique parts of this celebration. It was all in Spanish, at their Catholic church in Forest Grove, and despite the language barrier, I was able to understand quite a bit, and explain things to the girls as things progressed through the ceremony. It was just very touching and important to see a family gather around a young girl as she comes of age. I love how family oriented they are, and how much they love each other. Blessed.

Brought back fond memories of attending Mass with
my Catholic grandparents growing up


Me and my cute dates!
