Writing 13: describing a celebration.

On New Year's Eve I always have dinner with my family at my grandparents' house. We have dinner in their livingroom because I have a large family and that room is big enough for us. There are a lot of things to do and we prepare all ourselves: My uncles buy the food, my aunts prepare different dishes and my grandparents put up decorations. Getting everything ready takes days!

The day of the celebration the adults sit around a table and the children sit around another table. We usually cook too much food so it lasts two or three days. After dinner we watch films my mum makes with photos of us. They are so funny! Later in the evening we eat the twelve grapes and we say "Happy new Year!" to each other.

At the end my mum and some of my uncles and aunts go to a pub and dance all night. Last Christmas, I went with them. I had a great time. It was so funny, but I was too tired when I got home!

My cousin's communion

Last Saturday was my cousin's communion. Around 75 friends and family members were there. It was in a restaurant in Dúrcal. It was very exciting and the food was delicious. There was fish and potatoes for children and rice, meat, salad and prawns for adults. There was also ice cream for everyone. The cake was very tasty, and there was a piece for everyone. After the meal, there was music and dancing. There also was photographs and games for the children. There were a lot of presents for my cousin and she was very happy. My dress was quite nice, but my cousin's dress was the most beautiful in the party. It was an enjoyable event and everyone was vey happy.
