Familia Cedeño

Samuel turned 2! I can hardly believe how fast it came. We had a great time celebrating his birthday with a party at my mom's house. We mostly had family come. Samuel had a good time. Unfortunately for me, Roberto has moved all the pictures from the party to another hard drive. We love our little guy. He is the sweetest little boy and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have him. Christmas was spent with my family. We spent the night with them on Christmas Eve. It was really fun to be there with them all. I do have pictures of this to share with you. :) We continued the tradition of "gingerbread" houses Samuel Presents! Spoiled? Yes, we bought Samuel a car. Roberto confesses to me now that it was one of those, "I didn't have one when I was a kid, so I want him to have one" purchases. Samuel loves it. Right now it just sits in his room. He'll have fun with it once spring comes. :) During this time we also had my matern...

On December 4th 2012, my brother Daniel Cruz returned from his mission. We were able to go to the airport to welcome him home. It was SO fun to be at the airport. There were a TON of people all waiting for the same reason: missionaries!! As soon as they were coming down the escalators, we cheered! I felt SO happy to see my brother again. What a rush of excitement! From left to right: My brothers Joseph, Nephi, Danny, our son Samuel, Danny's friends, Taylor and Franklin and Roberto's brother Aaron.  When Danny saw my dad and hugged him, they hugged for what seemed like 3 minutes. I have never seen them hug for so long. It was so touching. What a blessing for our family! Danny and our Dad I am SO grateful that we were there for that moment. It would have been a bummer if we would have been living somewhere else far away. Danny's been adjusting to post-mission life just fine. His personality is pretty much the same as before he left. He's cool like that....
