Qué
La fiesta de ciudadanía de Karla
Early in the morning Hector and Karla went to the Federal Courthouse in downtown where Karla and 56 other persons from 30 countries stood in front of a judge and became US citizens. The ceremony was very nice and we hope this was the first and last time we had to be in a courtroom. Since this was a small group, Hector was in the back of the room with all the other relatives.
After the ceremony we went to have a nice lunch to the Webster House and then came back home to get ready for the party.
This time we had a total of 38 adults (including Hector and Karla) and nine children. We have a new record! We don't have pictures of all the people who came to the party -the list of names is below-, but we truly appreciate that they came and shared this important day with us. It is nice to know that after five years in the US, we are surrunded of very good friends.
Nos fuimos temprano a la Corte Federal en el centro, donde Karla, junto con otras 56 personas de 32 países en total se conviertieron en ciudadanos americanos delante de un juez. La ceremonia fue muy bonita. Esperamos que esta haya sido la primera y última vez que estamos en una corte.
Como era un grupo pequeño, Hector pudo estar en el mismo cuarto, en la parte de atrás, con los demás familiares.
Después de la ceremonia nos fuimos a lonchar a un restaurante bonito y de ahí a la casa a prepararnos para la fiesta.
Tuvimos un record de 38 adultos y nueve niños y niñas. La mayoría de la gente que vino sale en las fotos de abajo. Como podrán ver, después de cinco años aquí ya tenemos buenas amistades.
