On Tuesday morning we left the kids at home and the adults went to
Posados to do last minute shopping for the Quinceañera. We had to get the candy
for the gift boxes, food, and Matthew wanted to fireworks too. On the way home, we picked up Milanessa de
Pollo for lunch.
After lunch, everyone headed to the beach to meet up with German’s
family. Matthew and I decided to stay
back and rest. We snuck out and picked
up ice cream and then relaxed in bed watching Netflix. It was nice to spend the afternoon with
Matthew and I’m not much of a beach person, so it didn’t bother me to miss out
on it.
Since we stayed back at the house, we were the first to greet Ramiro and
Celi when they arrived at the house. The
others got back just a few minutes later.
We spent the evening just relaxing and enjoying the evening
together. German picked up Pizza and
Empanadas for dinner.
Wednesday was the day of the Quinceañera.
I woke up early to help decorate but no one else was awake to decorate
so I sat and drank mate for a couple hours until people started to arrive. Since they had to wake up at 4:00am to pick
up Pancho they didn’t wake up until late.
The cleaning lady arrived at 6:30 to clean the floors since I had asked
her the day before that way we didn’t have to do it ourselves.
When we got keys to the other house, I went in to check it out and plug
in the fridge and freezer, so it was cold for the party. We are lucky we decided to rent the house we
did since it was only one story, and the layout was much better for us. We were thankful to have the house for the
night so guests that came from further away could stay the night and not have
to travel home after the party.
When Ana and Diego arrived, we started decorating like crazy. Ana and Mariah were in charge of telling people what to do since they knew what needed to be done. German’s cousin’s wife and I put up the flowers and lights up in one of the areas were going to take pictures. Soraya stayed inside with her grandma to put together the gift boxes with candy since the decorations were a surprise for her. We had the youth blowing up the balloons. It took a few hours to finish the decorations, but it turned out absolutely beautiful.
I woke up in time for the beginning of the party. I spent the evening visiting with everyone,
taking all the pictures (over 300), visiting with German’s relatives, catching
up with Ramiro and Cele, and just enjoying the evening.
In the evening, some of us got dressed up for the rest of the party. Everyone took pictures with Soraya, Diego and Ana cooked the pizza and hamburgers over the grill for dinner, and we continued hanging out. Afterwards, we took more pictures with the cake then cut the cake before setting off the fireworks and having a shaving cream war.
Everyone started packing up to leave and cleaning up the party. Soon after that I headed to bed so I’m not sure what happened after that.
