Grandma's Birthday
by Lucy Truman

once upon a time there was a palm tree by grandma and grandpa packers house but then a wind came. It was so loud that it blew away the palm tree they loved to climb! The tree blew away to our house but grandma and grandpa didn't mind. they bougt another tree. but, there was a balloon tied onto the tree they bougt! The balloon was for grandmas birthday. so she untied it and banged it around and on her birthday she just kept banging it around then there was a big eating time with cake. grandpa said grandma makes the best cake ever! she blew out her candles but she mised one then she blew again but it was still getting biger fire! so she tryed blowing again and this time she got it! then Lucy and dady and momy and spencer had to go by..by. And grandma said why do you have to go. And they turned around and they told her why they had to go and what they said was we're running out of time to read tonight! so grandma said alright! good bye with you! but they missed something - Lucy and mom and spencer and dad: the cosins came. And lucy and mom and dad and Spencer heard the car coming and they looked and they drove back to bountiful!

he end.
