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.
