Happy Mither's Day

10thMay, 2009 Sunday Sunny and warm

It is Mother’s Day today. I had a good one. My father, sister, Phyllis, Aunt Carmen and I designed a party at my grandmother’s home. Grandmother’s home is near my home. So we can go there more quickly. Last Sunday, we designed a Western-style food party. We followed a recipe to cook the food.

When I went to my grandmother’s house, I made the fruit salad. It had apples, eggs, bananas and salad dressing. I put it into the fridge. It was very yummy. I made it for about one hour. Then, I went to Jusco and bought some colour papers and a carnation.

Aunt Carmen provided the beverages. There were different kinds of English tea.

Afterwards, I used the colour papers to make a Mother’s Day card. After I went back home, I saw my sister working very hard on the mashed potato. I thought, “My sister wanted to make the best food for Mother! I was very happy!” And I saw my father made the spaghetti happily too.

Dinner time has come! Everyone went to the dining room and ate the fruit salad I made as the appetizer. Then, I ate the Spaghetti Bolognese made by my father and mashed potato made by my sister. For the main course, we had pork and beef. After then, we had banana pancakes with ice-cream happily. Finally, we drank different kinds of English tea provided by Aunt Carmen.

After we had dinner, we went back home quickly and gave the Mother’s Day card and carnation to my mother. She was very happy. We had a very happy Mother’s Day!

I didn’t want to sleep, although it was very late. But soon I fell asleep. Although I was asleep, this day is always in my dreams.
