For Second Winter Break, I went to California to visit my dad. No one but my dad and his girlfriend, Sulema, knew I was coming, not even my little brother or little sister. So when I arrived at the house, I waited outside while my dad and Sulema grabbed my stuff and my little brother’s cake, since it was his birthday, and went inside without my brother noticing. After I got the okay sign, I went up to the door, and rang the door bell. I could hear my dad telling Anthony (my little brother) to get the door because it might be one of his friends. When he opened the door and saw me, he stepped back as if he couldn’t believe his eyes, and all of a sudden you could barely see his eyes start to water, I could tell he was sooo happy to see me and I was happy to see him!!! That day he turned eight!! We didn’t tell him because in his we wanted it to be a surprise.

While I was there I also got to see my new baby brother, Dominic Bryant Saldana. I got to hold him for the first time; that was exciting. He was born on my dad’s birthday December 28th. He is a chubby baby with chubby cheeks, just like I was, but that makes them even cuter!

I had a blast with Sulema, my little sister Celeste, my new little brother Dominic, my other little brother Anthony, and of course my dad!! :)
