Fairy houses with carved windows and doors and all

“Sophia, Sophia, come on you’re going to make us late,” mum called.

I dived out of bed, remembering, today I’m going to visit Grandma and it’ll only be the two of us all day. I’d almost forgotten, yet I’d been waiting for this day all week.

I quickly dressed and raced out of the house to jump in the car. Mum and Dad were already waiting in the car and Mum passed me a container and plastic spoon.

“Sophia, here’s some fruit salad that you can eat on the way, for breakfast, since you slept in.”

“Thanks Mummy,” I replied.

It didn’t take us long to get to Grandma’s house, where Grandma was sitting, waiting on her porch. As soon as the car stopped, I jumped out, waving goodbye to Mummy and Daddy, as I flew up the stairs and into Grandma’s arms.

“Wow Sophia you’re getting big now you have turned 6 years old. Look at you, you’re getting so tall. You’ll be taller than me in a couple of years,” Grandma chuckled.

We walked inside, hand in hand, until we reached the kitchen.

“Sophia why don’t you go play in the backyard for a while and I’ll get the kitchen all set up so we can do some baking. Sound like a good idea?”
