Seeing baby cousins

In the weekend I went to my cousins house. My cousin’s name is Jenny. I went to their house to see the new born baby, it is a girl. I went in a car to their house.

Do you want to known where I went when the baby was born? I went to my uncle's house. I was so overjoyed that we went there. Me and my cousins were so jolly.

“The baby was born at 3:15 pm, that is late”. I said to my mum. She is so cute. "I was so jolly to see her". I said to my mum

Now there you have it. I  was overjoyed over all. I most enjoyed seeing the baby. I hope next time that the  baby won't cry on me.
