The Quinceañera

to the wall
mid air

In México, the “sweet 16″ birthday celebration is actually the “sweet 15″, it’s called the “quinceañera”. My wife’s sister (mi cuñada) recently turned 15 and rather than throw an insanely lavish and expensive party, as is the norm, she opted for a nice simple dinner at the local sushi joint and a little backyard lip-sync and foosball action with close friends. add a large camera and everyone’s a star.

    Love it! My best friend just turned 40 and she’s having a “Cuarent-anara” (sp?) this Saturday, getting decked out with girls in her “court” and all… too funny – and should be fun! Happy Monday!
