Happy Birthday Granpa!

My children and I went to my parents house yesterday to celebrate my father's birthday.

I bought a birthday cake on our way there.

My father was glad to see the faces of his grandchildren.

He said:

"Welcome! Nothing could be more wonderful than you come here to celebrate my birthday!"

"Let's have the cake!"

My mother said.

"Happy birthday grandpa! Happy birthday grandpa!"

We sang a birthday song.

My children and my father blew out the candles on the birthday cake together.


My children are the apple of his eye because they are his only grandchildren.

I have a sister who is married, but they don't have children.

We say it "目に入れてもいたくない(めにいれてもいたくない)" in Japanese.

 Its literal translation is : If you put them in your eyes, it would not be hurt.

But its rough translation is : They are everything to you.

We enjoyed playing a board game and walking aorund the house together.

Visiting my parents house with my children makes my parents happier.

    This line:
    My children are the apple of his eye because they are only his grandchildren.

    Should be:

    This line:
    I have a sister who is married, but they don't have a child.

    Should be:
    I have a sister who is married, but they don't have children.

    Reason: Even though child is not incorrect it is more often said as children in that way you used it.

    This line:
    But its free translation is : They are everything to you.
