I really enjoyed my uncle's 21st birthday celebration!

On Saturday 18th of June 2016, my families and I went to my uncle's birthday party. My uncle his name is Papa and he was turning 21 years  old. The weather was cool, hot and sunny.

Before my family and I went to the birthday party, we went to the Warehouse to buy my uncle some presents. We got him some clothes and some shoes like Nike, Puma, Adidas and some Converses. They were very cool and beautiful because all the shoes were in different colours.

Later on we went to a church on Dominion Road because the birthday was held there in the hall. The hall was big and awesome. When we first arrived I saw my cousin Moala and I said to her, 'Do you want to play with me'?. And she said, "Yes!". My cousin was the tagger while I was runner. We were having a lot f fun until my mum called us. Then it was time to watch my uncle blow out the candles. The cake had all my favourite flavours in it, strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.

After that, we went to go and get some chips, Tongan food, chicken and fish. The food was delicious. The fish was crunchy and the chicken was crunchy as well. The chips was crispy and delicious. The Tongan food was a little bit spicy.

Finally we went home because it was getting dark and my family and I felt tired.

My favourite part of the day was when I was playing tag with my cousin.

Have you ever had a strawberry and chocolate cake for your cousin's birthday?

On Saturday 4th of May 2016, my family and I went to Happy Days to celebrate my cousin's birthday. She turned 19. The weather was nice and sunny. My families and I went in my dad's big van. It took us an hour to get there.
After we arrived, my little brother and I went to sit at our allocated seat with our baby sister. After that, my mum brought the cake for my cousin and it was chocolate ( my favourite flavour). Later on, my cousin arrived at Happy Days looking very fancy.

After that we started singing the happy birthday song to my cousin. Maya and my mum got the cake. Then we all went to go and get some food to eat. I got some chicken and chips and some healthy food like slices of carrots, beans and and some meat. The chicken was crispy and the chips were crunchy. The healthy vegetables were delicious. The carrots and the beans was mushy and the meat was so tender.

Later on we had some cake and it was so delicious full of chocolate and strawberry. Then my little brother and I played tag. I was the tagger while my little brother was the runner and it was so much fun.

Finally we all went home because it was the end of the day. We all felt tired. My favourite part of the day is when my little brother and I played tag.
