Newest U.S. Citizen

Evelyn became one of our country's newest citizens today! She donned a white dress with navy and red ribbon trim. At 1:00 p.m. we arrived at the Federal Bldg. for her naturalization. We were taken to a room with several other adults, teens, and children for the ceremony. Daddy took care of all the signing while Mommy kept up with Evelyn. After signing the certificate, it was time to recite the oath. Mommy and Evelyn held up their right hands to recite it. At the end, Evelyn was given an American flag, her certificate, and a letter from the President. It happened very quickly, but the memory of this special day will last a lifetime.
