In the Holidays

In the holidays my family went to my cousin’s house and slept over. When we got there my aunty said “We need to cook dinner.” So my cousin Siti and I helped my aunty and my mum make some pepperoni pizza with cookies for desert.

I was so nervous to eat because there were so many people at the table. So I sat on the ground with my cousin Siti, my cousin Sury came too. All my cousins and my family began to eat. After we ate our dinner the children played a game called Ghost Game my cousin Sury and I were ghosts and my sisters and Siti were all sleeping. We came to the room and with a rope so my sister Rosana would fall down with the rope like a ghost had pulled her leg, when she got out of bed we pulled the rope and on the floor, it was so funny but my sister smacked me in the shoulder to tell me off, that wasn’t as fun.
