Edwin's Birthday and Meeting With Grandparents

Cornell and Alexandra organized a small family gathering to celebrate Edwin's birthday and to welcome Cornell's parents Robert and Camille too.

It was a great joy to see them again, especially because Romina had almost forgotten how her grandparents looked like.

The last time they had seen them had been during a vacation in Hidden Springs.

Robert and Camille were so happy to see the family reunited! 

Camille loved Cornell's new home and wanted to capture the moment, taking pictures of everything and everyone.

And the time came for the celebration...

Edwin was going to become an infant.

Okay! Now little Edwin is waiting for his cake to be served.

The party is over, the grandparents are leaving. 

"Great party, son. I had a blast. And your house is amazing!" Robert exclaimed.

 "Bob, put on your coat, it's cold outside", Camille intervened.

"Nah, I'm good. Hidden Springs was cold, this is nothing!"

After a long goodbye, both of them left in Robert's new boat.

It was a modest party but it was so much fun. Almost everybody had left, so Alexandra could sit down and enjoy a little more cake. Meanwhile, Alfonso, Romina's high school friend, who is a babysitter in addition, kindly took care of Edwin for her.

Cornell is super sleepy... 

 

So is Butch, the family pet.

He was so tired that he fell asleep next to his puddle. Ew, lol.

It was pretty late, Romina helped putting Edwin to bed. Alfonso was still there, half asleep.

He had stayed long after everybody had left to help with the dishes and entertain Edwin.

"That was kind of you, thank you, Al. I don't know what we would have done without your help", 

"It was nothing, good night, see you tomorrow, Mina".

Cornell had already gone to bed .

Alexandra stayed awake until Edwin fell asleep too.

Then, exhausted, she headed for her bedroom. On her way she found Romina, she looked very tired too.

"Romina, go to sleep already, you have school tomorrow".

"I'm coming, mom. Good night, have a good rest".

"You too, honey".

Romina fell asleep instantly

 Alexandra was happy to finally be able to rest... Oh, but what? Cornell is snoring? Well, whatever. Alex was so tired that she didn't even care, she fell asleep at the instant, too.

And peace returned to the Langeraks home.
