Quinceanera

THE LOPEZ FAMILY WAS VERY EXCITED.  GINA LOPEZ'S 15TH BIRTHDAY WAS IN A FEW DAYS.  THE LOPEZ FAMILY WAS PLANNING A QUINCEANERA, WHICH IS A MEXICAN BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR GIRLS TURNING 15 YEARS OLD.

GINA AND HER MOTHER BOUGHT A BEAUTIFUL WHITE DRESS FOR HER TO WEAR AT HER PARTY.  SHE WOULD ALSO WEAR A LITTLE PRINCESS CROWN ON HER HEAD.  GINA INVITED MANY OF HER FRIENDS, FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS TO HER QUINCEANERA, WHICH WOULD START AT HER CHURCH.  AFTER THE CEREMONY AT THE CHURCH EVERYONE WOULD GO TO A HOTEL WHERE THERE WOULD BE DANCING AND PARTYING.  IN HONOR OF HER BIRTHDAY AND TRADITION, GINA HAD CHOSEN 15 FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAD HELPED HER TO GROW UP.  SHE WOULD THANK EACH ONE DURING THE PARTY.

ON THE DAY OF GINA'S PARTY, HER NEIGHBORS WATCHED AS A LIMOUSINE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE LOPEZ HOUSE.  THE LIMO DRIVER, WHO WAS DRESSED IN A UNIFORM, KNOCKED ON THE PURPLE DOOR.  GINA AND HER FAMILY WALKED OUT TO THE LIMO.  THEY WERE DRESSED IN VERY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES.  GINA LOOKED LIKE A PRINCESS IN HER WHITE DRESS.  THE NEIGHBORS  WERE IN THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE LOPEZ HOUSE.  THEY SAID LOUDLY, "FELIZ CUMPLEANOS", WHICH MEANS "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" IN SPANISH.  GINA SMILED AND WAVED AT EVERYONE AS THE LIMO DROVE AWAY.
