It was my grandpa’s birthday last Sunday. On Friday, my sister and I went shopping. We found a nice Batik shirt. We bought it and wrapped it in a blue paper. Blue is my grandpa’s favorite color.

On Saturday morning, my brother and I helped our sister in the kitchen. We made a birthday cake. It was a big and beautiful cake. I wrote Happy Birthday on it. We put some chocolate and a big candle on top of it.

On Sunday evening, we had a party. My uncle and my aunt came to my house. They brought some coke and flowers for my grandpa. We sat together in our living room. My dad said a beautiful prayer. Then, we sang “Happy Birthday” and my grandpa blew out the candle. He cut the cake and gave it to everybody in that room. He opened his present and he was very happy with the shirt.
