Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I use action verbs to describe my birthday.
The 1st of August was my birth week, I call it birth week because it is the week that I was born and my family celebrates with me.
On Friday the 5th of August, my family went to Broncos steak house for my birthday dinner. We checked in and got our seats. Lasike and I were under 13, so we got a children's menu and on the other side were activities for us to complete with crayons. If we completed the activities, we can get a lollipop from the counter.
Lasike and I ordered mini hotdogs with fries, my mum ordered surfin turfin, my dad ordered salmon salad with steak and my sister ordered the biggest steak burger in the restaurant. it was so big that my sister couldn't finish it so Lasike and I helped her out because we weren't full from the food we had. Lasike and I also had pink panthers as our drinks, my parents had coffee and my sister had an ice chocolate. After a while, we ate dessert. Lasike and I ordered ice cream sundaes with melted chocolate sizzling all over it. My sister had a chocolate shake and my parents had a cheese cake. Then my mum told us to wait for our stomach to digest before we go. Afterwards, my mum paid the check and Lasike and I received our lollipops.
On Saturday the 6th of August, my mum went to have coffee with my aunty but she said I couldn't go with her because it was raining. When my mum came back, she bought me a bucket of donuts with chocolate all over it. I didn't want to be selfish so I shared with my brother and my sister. My mum only came home for a little while to drop the donuts off and then she went out again to the Warehouse with my aunty.
She came back at six on the dot, and surprised me with four onesies for my birthday present. My mum bought me a panda, pikachu, koala and a tweety bird. My parents each had a zebra and a bunny onesie. I went straight upstairs and changed into my tweety bird onesie and laid down in front of the television watching the olympics. It was so warm that I didn't need a blanket. I slept with my tweety bird onesie because it was so cozy.
The next day was Sunday the 7th, it was my birthday! My mum woke me up at six because my grandma was on the phone with my cousins in Tonga singing happy birthday to me. Then I went upstairs to change for church. I immediately went to my bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower after I have changed into my church clothes. Meanwhile my mum was laying out my birthday puletaha with a badge that had #BirthdayGirl on my bed. Soon after I changed into my clothes and put on my special heels. My mum tied a Kie Kie around my puletaha. My mum brushed out my hair and added a bow to my hair.
After everyone was ready we went to church. My aunty and uncle were already there. Father blessed me and the church sang happy birthday to me. After church, my aunty gave me $100, I said thank you and gave her a big hug. My dad invited my aunty, uncle and my cousin Ladele to my birthday breakfast at Ruby Red. We went there because it is my favourite cafe and because their pancakes are really delicious. I had pancakes with bananas and cream with a cup of hot chocolate.
When we were all full, my aunty and uncle went home and so did we. My mum called my aunty Seilala to see if we could go out for lunch because it was her birthday the day before mine. They said that they are free so my mum told my sister and I to hop into the car. My mum said to use my birthday money for the lunch and the $50 dollars that my sister had given me was for us when we go out.
We had lunch at Bake Heavens cafe, my sister and I had chicken nugget with fries, my mum had pasta, my aunty had a steak meal and my other aunty had a steak salad. After we ate, my mum gave me half of my birthday money so my sister and I could go out to the shops because my sister wanted to buy me a birthday present. First we went to a huge store to buy my sister some makeup and my dog some toys to play with. Then we went to Dress Smart for some window shopping. Afterwards, my sister and I decided to go back to my aunty's apartment because our feet were hurting from walking in heels.
On our way to the apartment, we came across a store where they sold branded products for only two dollars each. My sister bought herself some playing cards and told me to choose three things in the store for myself. I got a nature mandala colouring book, some colouring pencils and a pink wallet to for placing all my lunch money in. My sister walked around looking for some dog toys, all of a sudden my sister tripped. The man at the front counter was laughing and I was rolling on the ground laughing as well.
When we went to the cashier, the man asked if my sister's ankle was hurting because of her little fall. My sister started laughing and said that she is ok. After we paid our things, we walked to my aunty's apartment. We played snap and last card. It was so funny because my aunty joined in with us as well.
Eventually my mum said that it was time to go home, so we said goodbye to my aunties. My aunty walked us down to the carpark because she was the owner of the apartment. She opened the door with her ID badge and walked us out. Then she gave me a bag full of lollies and thanked me for shouting them lunch. I said, "You're welcome." I buckled up my seatbelt and said goodbye again. Then my mum drove off. It took us 10 minutes to get home because my aunty's apartment was not very far away from our house.
When we got home, my dad said to me that it was time to go and visit my aunty Seini because she has a surprise for me. When we arrived, my aunty took me to a shop and told me to wait there. I sat down while my aunty went to the counter. My mum knew what was going to happen but she kept quiet. My aunty came out with a birthday cake. It was a red velvet cake and that was my favourite. Then we went to a different destination and my whole family was there. They were holding a box covered with wrapping paper. I unwrapped the wrapping paper and saw a white box, I opened it and saw an Ipad pro. I gave everyone a hug and said thank you to them.
After a while, my mum decided to go to Mission Bay to eat the cake. Soon my dad said, "We can go for a swim!" However I said that I don't have a swimming suit and my brother ran to the car and brought out a brand new swimming suit for me. Then we all ran into our cars and drove off to the beach. We swam and swam until my aunty called out cake time. My family sang happy birthday to me. Then my uncle yelled out Cake time again! Then we all grabbed a piece of cake and ate it. After we ate, we went for another swim. Later on we all went to take a shower and get changed into our dry clothes in the changing room.
When we got back, my mum told us to hop into the van because it was time to go home. We drove back home and ate the rest of the cake. After that, my mum told us to brush our teeth and change into our pajamas. My mum tucked us in and kissed us goodnight. As soon as my mum left our room, I fell asleep.
My favourite part was when my family surprised me with my Ipad because I had been wanting an Ipad for the last couple of years. It was a fun day and I hope my 11th birthday will be as great as this one.
