So a quinceanera is a big deal, and one going on all the time with people we know.<BR/><BR/>One of our older daughter's best friend's had one for her and my daughter wanted one too. I was persona-non-grata around the house for a while after that. At least in my daughter's eyes.<BR/><BR/>The families truly spend as much as a typical wedding and all the festivities, and I couldn't comprehend shelling out that kind of money for a fifteenth birthday.<BR/><BR/>They are beautiful to attend, but I'm glad I didn't have cultural pressure to throw one for my two daughters.JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36846651.post-87528239278517786492007-08-26T17:03:00.000-07:002007-08-26T17:03:00.000-07:00Too much fun!

However, I wish my parents had one for me. Its awesome!<BR/>We do a big deal thing on turning 13 at our house. 16 is pretty special, too. I have NO idea what we are going to do in a couple of weeks when Drew turns 18.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.com
