On Friday we had Barbara's Quince party. It was AWESOME.
It's a celebration of when a girl becomes a "woman" and she is treated more like an adult.
It was a wonderful day - here's how the day played out...
12:30pm Ceremony for Quincenera - Barbara enters the church while all of us were dressed up in her BEAUTIFUL dress... (see picture below)
1:00pm We all headed to the park to take some pictures with/of Barbara. EVERYONE from the orphanage was there taking pictures with/of her. It was beautiful.
1:30pm We started to eat the DELICIOUS food; guacamole, beans in "salsa" form, fruit cab-bobs, lime rice, and much more! It was wonderful. Mother Ivonne told me that usually they have a Mariachi band come and play in the morning to wake the birthday girl up and then all through the meal and for a little dancing after that, but because Barbara has been harsh with the teachers, she didn't get that. Sad, but she'll learn.
2:00pm- 4:00pm We danced and sang to High School Musical and Camp Rock (I have to learn the words, is what I learned) - it was very fun!!
After that we took some more pictures in the park (see funny picture below)... The rest of the night was pretty much hanging out with the teenage girls and Ericka. It was SO much fun!! I had the best time - we sat around (of course listening to HSM and CR), drinking some wine and beer and just chatting. It was a great night... a night that made this thought run through my head, "I should stay here forever..." BUT then time went on, and they started getting crazy around 9pm and I was like - OK - goodnight! haha it was so much fun...
This was what made my day so fun... :)
Just another cute one of Barbara in her dress...
That's it for today... I am exhausted... Love and prayers!!!

You probably shouldn't be writing about the children's attitudes on your blog. If you want to write about my attitude that is ok because I give you permission. :)
