Let's enjoy the birthday party!

On Saturday night my aunty invited my family, friends, cousins and uncles over for a birthday party. When we were getting ready for the party, I took a shower and chose my clothes for the party. I chose my Kobes shoes, a purple shirt and a yellow pair of pants that my dad had bought for me on my birthday.

When we were all ready we had to go in two cars because there were 14 of us. My mum locked up the house before she came out. Then my dad said, “Six people come with me and 5 people go with `mum!”  So my brothers and I got into my mum’s car and the six girls went with my dad.

Mum drove in front and dad followed her in the car. When we got onto the motorway, I brought down the window to feel the wind blowing on my face.  

Then my dad took over the car that we were in and led us all the way to  my aunt's house is because it was dark.

When my family got there, the party was already started and it was really fun because they had invited a lot of people so we could play hide and seek together.

Afterwards my auntie gave us ice blocks and fizzy drinks. After drinking the fizzy drink I felt really dizzy and sick. Then my older brother came and took me to my cousin’s room and left me there. While I was asleep Giovanni’s little brother came and turned on the PS4 and woke me up and so we played together. My little cousin and I chose the game Black Ops 2.

When the game started, he clicked the multiplayer mode and asked me to pressed start to join the game.  When I join, he pressed X to start the game off for us. After the game started, I felt so dizzy that I couldn’t play properly. Fortunately my dizziness went away after 15 minutes and I was so happy. So my cousin and I kept on playing and shooting each other in the game. When game ended,  it was a draw and suddenly my cousin laughed and laughed and said, “Ha ha ha haa, you can’t beat me!”

Before long, my aunt called us to go and eat the cake my cousin and I turned off the game and ran to have some chocolate layered cake. My auntie started cutting the cake and my sisters and brothers served it to my cousin, friends, uncles and aunties. When everyone has a piece, there was one more cake left and my cousin gave it to me and said, “ Thanks for everything!” After that, we all played together.

All of a sudden, I felt dizzy again and I fell down my older brother ran and picked me up and took me to my cousin's room to lay me down on the bed. When it was packing up time, everybody left, my parent left me as well. My cousins and auntie packed everything up by themselves.  When they finished packing up, they went straight to bed and fell asleep straight away because they were so tired.

My favourite part was when I spent my time with my little cousin because he was funny and a very good gamer.
