Last Saturday was my husband’s birthday. We went to IAPM  to celebrate his birthday and we bought a jacket and a pair of shoes.Then, after that we ate noodles for dinner. In China, when you celebrate your birthday, you should eat noodles because noodles are long so people think it can help make your life longer. When we finished eating, we walked around IAPM because it was very cold outside so we found a coffee shop and stayed there drinking coffee and milk tea and eating pancakes. Last Sunday, we slept in because the day before we went to bed very late. That weekend my son was living with his grandmother  so my husband drove and brought him back home at noon. Then, Sunday afternoon we watched TV and ordered take-out for dinner. I think that it’s very comfortable to be inside during cold weather.
