Wake up, Milo! It's going to be a fun night!
That's better!
(There's Rayna off in the distance... always with her important pink purse!)
Brotherly love...
Brothers with different mothers...
The occasion for all the fancy attire was the Quinceanera and blesssing ceremony of our beautiful friend, Amanda:
It was a beautiful celebration with many good friends. We ate well, cried (well, some of us anyway) as we heard Amanda's sister, parents, and relatives bless her, and then even danced a little-- well, at least Rayna did!
(still with her purse!)
Amanda danced with her dad... which made even some of the men cry...
Happy parents!
It was a great party!
But.... the night was not yet over.... Who knew February 19th was such a celebratory day?
Pete represented us at Graham's 30th birthday party! (Since all of our babysitters were still dancing away at the Quincenara, I was not able to go) It sounds like it was a fun time, though, and everyone had a good time answering Graham Trivia questions.
People turning 15, turning 30... Makes us feel old, but glad we're still included in the parties!
I figured that Quinceanera has to do with being 15, but I've never heard of that before. Is that a Charlotte thing? A regional thing? An ethnic thing? I'm curious. You all looked very lovely for it ;0)
