Great, now I have that song in my head. You know, that song they use for the Six Flags commercial. The one with the silly man dancing!
According to Wikipedia:
A party is a social gathering for celebration and recreation. It can have religious, cultural, or seasonal implication as well, but the term 'party' usually implies a strong social/socializing component to the gathering.
Well, that is what we like to do. By we I am referring to my daughters and I, not so much Jahvel. Maybe it's a girl thing. Partying, in my dictionary, doesn't have a specific meaning. It just means going out, having fun, or just getting out of our normal routine like: shopping, going to the park, heck, going to the library, or even dancing.
I did mention I was practicing for two different dances in a previous blog, right? Well, we are having our Christmas party at church tomorrow and some sisters and I are going to dance. This week I have been going to our dance practice every day at the same time. Jahvel has been staying home with the girls while I go and have some fun, dancing time for my self! Except for Wednesday. Little miss Velani didn't want to be left behind. As soon as she heard me telling Jahvel I was going to my dance practice, she said she wanted to go too! her exact words were "yo quiero bailat tambien." See what I mean? She just wants to get out of the house and PARTY! I tried to convince her to stay, but she insisted. I even offered her a popsicle if she stayed and she said NO! I saw how badly she wanted to go and "dance" herself so I took her. She had already seen us practice before and I guess she remembered how much she enjoyed it or maybe she just pretended to like it so that she could use that excuse next time mommy went to practice and mommy would think that her daughter actually likes to dance and would end up taking her out of the house,whew! She is smart!!
Nah, I think she just liked it. Now I know she is up for dancing anytime, and she's pretty good at it too!
I wish I had recorded her "practicing" with the other sisters and I. She was right by my side learning the steps, laughing and just having fun.
So as you can tell, any little excuse works to get out and have fun. This is only one example of our so-called "parties."So if you ever need a "party" buddy you know who to call. We are there! Mia too, I mean she will dance her eyes away. I come with a bundle so count on 3 if you do invite me. Hey, the more the better!

You know, I thinks it's a Partida thing. It goes back to my Grandfather's days (Enrique Partida Delgado)He was a P A R T Y man, and then of course Begua and from there us. We love to make a party out of any little gathering, I think this is what keeps us together and happy. So party on Stef, keep the tradition going.
My girls also love any excuse to party. Angelina is always planning something - a tea party, a craft party, a slumber party, etc., etc.!! Then there's Josie, she loves to stay up all night and party like a party girl!
