This is Alba dressed up for her special night and party. The 15th birthday is a huge deal for girls in Honduras and they had a grand formal party with lots of guests and a nice meal. The older kids did a waltz dance that they practiced for 2 weeks. After that Alba danced alone with each of the important people in her life, which was a lot of people. That was followed by a slide show with photos of Alba from the time she arrived at the casa at age 3 to the present. Then she gave a little thank you speech which was followed by a dinner. After the dinner there was several hours of dancing and lots of fun.

The little kids all went to my house to hang out while they were decorating the main casa and to eat dinner. The older ones who were in the dance routine went to the party while the younger kids stayed at my house and went to sleep there until the party was over around 10:30. (Unfortunately for Milton, one of them peed in his bed.) Our place is not kid friendly so we certainly had our hands full for many hours with all the little ones running crazy in the place. It was like a field trip for them to a new place so they had fun even though they did not get to go to the party.
