#4 A special moment I enjoyed with my family




Today was my grandmother's birthday, and every year we never fail to celebrate it. It was as usual that we do this year. Normally we would celebrate the birthday in a restaurant, but this year, we decided to celebrate it at my grandmother's house! I was thrilled when I heard that as it had been quite a long time since I had gone to her house.

When we reached there, it was crowded! Many of our relatives were there and the house was filled with a party atmosphere. Upon reaching there, I presented some presents to my grandmother who just turned eighty-four today. I then went to play and had a whale of a time with my cousins while I leave my parents to talk with others.

Later, at around dinner time, a buffet caterer came! We had a scrumptious dinner and rested a while before the cutting cake ceremony. By that time, I was already full but I am sure I would have some space for some cake.

After an hour or two, the cake was brought out! There seemed like there were uncountable candles but I knew that there were 12. That sure is a lot of candles! We then proceeded to singing the birthday song and cut the cake.

Later at night, we all proceeded back home with our appetites satisfied. I found today a great day as this is one of the rare opportunities we have to get a family gathering. Although the food in the restaurant is nicer, I still find a celebration at home the best as there is a sense of belonging among us.
