This is the first story that I wrote!I was in class 3!

A Funny New Years eve with Aunt Claire

One New Years Eve,an eight year old girl called Gwendoline Lacey was walking to the kitchen larder to get some tarts.Her father was getting ginger-beer and her mother was getting fruit cakes from a nearby food shop.They were going to have a gorgeous New Year's eve dinner.
Gwendoline was very excited.She had set the tables and was now sitting on her chair on her side.Beside her were two more chairs,facing each other,for her parents.
She sat and thought about how they would spend this splendid evening.The more she thought the more excited she felt.
Gwendoline heard a car run into the driveway.She got up,opened the window and peeped into the drive.Her mother and father stepped out of the car and behind them came a gigantic figure of a woman.It was that terrifying aunt of hers-Aunt Claire!
Her mother walked into the room.She was tall, skinny and jolly woman.She said,"Hello Gwen dear!We met your aunt at the food shop and we invited her over!"
Gwendoline was terrified of her aunt.But she tried her best not to show it while she was speaking.She said,"Bonjour, Aunt Claire! (Her aunt was French so instead of saying 'hello' she had to say 'bonjour'.)
Gwendoline brought another glass,a spoon,a fork,a plate and a chair to the table for her aunt.She went to the larder and brought some more jam tarts.Suddenly,she remembered that her mother had asked her to put a vase with flowers and also strawberries and sugar on the table,before she had left for the shop.Her mother had told her that this would make the dinner lovelier!She went to the living room and brought the vase with flowers and placed it in the middle of the table.She went back to the larder and brought the tin of strawberries and the pot of sugar and set that on the table.
Gwendoline's father walked in with the ginger beer.He was tall and good looking.Aunt Claire looked at him and scowled.
Gwen sat down next to her father, who said,"Lets not sit and stare at the food!"
Then Mrs.Lacey said,"Tuck in,everybody!"
Aunt Marge ate almost everything.Two bottles of ginger beer,which went 'Fizz!Fizz!Fizz!' when she opened them.She also ate fie jam tarts and three pieces of cake.Whenever Aunt Claire swallowed her food,she made a sound like a pig trying to sneeze!
Everybody was astonished to see how Aunt Claire ate.Mr.Lacey kept saying,"Slow down Claire!There's no hurry!"
Aunt Claire just didn't care!She finished her food and got up immediately and said,"Zank you for zis vonderful dinner!"Then she rushed out of the dinning room
and out the front door!
Gwendoline was feeling like bursting into fits of laughter!
Mr. and Mrs.Lacey and Gwendoline ate whatever was left and then cleared away the bits and pieces that had sprayed out of Aunt Claire's mouth while she had been speaking.
Then all of them fell asleep on their cosy beds.Gwendoline slept and dreamed of the funny New Year's eve she had had with Aunt Claire!
