My family's party
I'll never forget last July. That's when my big sister and her boyfriend decided to get married, and my parents had a fantastic party at our house to celebrate.
First, my mum and I went shopping for food and drink. At six o'clock, my sister's friends arrived for the party. At seven o'clock, my dad started the barbecue in the garden and after that we cooked potatoes and burgers. It was a very warm night. We ate the food and then Dad started the firework display - that was a great surprise. Finally, at about eleven o'clock, everyone went home. There were about twenty people and we all had a good time. Only our dog didn't enjoy the party. He stayed in the house - he didn't like the noise of the fireworks! It was a great evening and I was really happy.
