My 15 Birthday party !

A few years ago, in Chile the girls didn’t use to celebrate her 15 birthdays, but in other countries like Cuba, it’s a tradition, because it’s the moment when that girl becomes a woman.

This picture shows my 15 party, it was a very important moment for me, because I was doing something related with the Cuban culture. My mother bought two dresses to me for that day, the first one (the one that I use on my picture) was light blue and the other one was black, that day I went to de hairdressing salon and I had a manicure.  I made the invitation with my parents, handmade, and these were very beautiful.

When I arrived in the place, there were all my friends and relatives. First I said hi to everybody, talked to the people and then my godparents gave me a crown like part of the tradition (this is the moment that my photo shows but I don’t know who took it). After that, we all went to our seats: there was a banquet. When it finished, I danced a waltz with my dad, we practiced about one month before that day, so it was nice.

Then it was the birthday song time, but before that, I light each candle one by one with my friends and relatives help: I called someone, like my mom, I said why I choose her like one of the 15 most important persons in my life and then she light the candle for me. When I mentioned the 15 persons, everybody song to me and my parents gave me a gift: the last doll of my  life (I still have it). Then the party started, I changed my dress and just had fun!
