Maria's Family Celebration

Maria's Family Celebration

It is Mexican Independence Day! Maria and Luis are getting ready for a big party.

" We can decorate the house, " says Maria. " Let's paint a picture of our family. "

" Mama was born first. She is the oldest, " says Maria. " Papa was born second, " Maria says. “ He is one year younger. "

“ Next is Emily, " says Maria. “ She is Mama and Papa's first child. " “ After Emily, you were born, " says Luis. “ That's right! " says Maria. “ I am Mama and Papa's second child. "

" What about me?" asks Luis. " You were the last to be born, " says Maria. “ You are the youngest. " “ There! " says Maria. " Our family picture is done! "
