Monday, December 12th
It was my brother’s birthday on Friday, and on Saturday it was his party. Now, he’s
nine years old. His birthday was great for all the family and the party was a lot of fun!
The party was at our house in the yard. Twelve friends were at the party and there
were lots of presents for my brother. There were toys, some CDs and a soccer ball.
His favorite present was a skateboard. He looked very happy. There was a cake with
nine candles. My mom made the cake. It was delicious! We ate sandwiches, too, and
there was some juice. We ate a lot!
It was a sunny day. There weren’t any clouds. We played in the yard on the grass. We
played soccer with my new ball and we played some party games.
In the evening, there weren’t any more children at my house. They all went home. My
brother and I were very tired, but we were happy. We watched TV and then I was in
bed by eight o’clock!
