When we returned to AZ, Matthew took part in the quinceanera of one of his older cousins, and acquitted himself with aplomb, especially for a ten year old! This beautiful fifteen year old young lady chose him to be her escort for this important event which begins with a solemn Mass where the young woman dedicates herself to an upright and godly life.
The escort's role here is to walk her into the church and present her at the altar. Then his part in the church ceremony is done, her parents and godparents take over for the remainder of the ceremony. He will later escort her into the reception.

Myna and her "court".
I am calling this the "presentation dance", it's choreographed with all of the "court". That's Myna's eleven year old brother on the left.
Dancing with Yessenia-mom
And with Nana. Pretty good moves for a ten year old!

And La Familia Figueroa, Nana-Nana, grandchildren and great grandchildren!
What a grand event and the Atwoods were much gratified to be invited to be a part of it.
