Dear Grace
Today, I want to write something about my special day .
It is on Feb 14. I think it is special because it is a special western festival called Valentine’s Day and it’s also my son’s birthday.
I usually celebrate it with my family members. Luckily, my son’s birthday is almost in the winter holiday. So in the morning, we take Thomas to his favourite place and play happily. In the afternoon, grandma buys him beautiful clothes while grandpa prepares the dinner. In the evening. We have the birthday cake and sing birthday song together! How happy we are.
And I love this day! What about you? What is your special day?
Lots of love
