The Quinceanera is celebrated in an unique way from other birthdays. It marks the transition from childhood to womanhood. Pink is often the colour chosen by the young ladies. Certainly this was the case for Naya. To read more about this special day have a look at Wikipedia.
Before going into the dining room there is this array of candies .
The ceremony is the move from childhood to womanhood and this is depicted throughout the event. Here the dolls of her childhood giveaway to the transition of becoming a young woman.
Of course it is still a birthday and what a cake it was. It also tasted very nice.
The dinning room was elaborately decorated.
We were serenaded by a great mariachi band.
The birthday girl has her own court.
Then after dinner the celebration begins. After the Court enters then the birthday girl and her parents introduce Naya to the guests.
Part of this rite of passage is for her father to remove her flat shoes and place on her feet her first pair of heeled shoes. Her mother adorns her head with a Tiara as she is a princess in the eyes of the Lord.
Her mother also fixes her bouquet . Then it is time for the first dance with her father.
After much dancing it is time to cut the cake. Here her mum, dad, brother and sister await for the cake cutting.
After a great night of much enjoyment the posed for family snap.
It was a wonderful evening and we wish Naya a very happy and healthy life.
Many thanks for including us in this celebration.
