we missed it

Yesterday afternoon we were supposed to go to our niece birthday party, but we never went. It was raining hard with thunder and lightening we were afraid to get out the house. Also, I never get a chance to buy a presents, but it was not really the reason. Before the rain I went to Walmart to buy a gift, but the store closed early. I heard that the store’s power went off and they needed to close the store. They asked all the people to go home and it was really bad. I did not have enough time to go to the mall so I went home. I decided to just go to the party without any gift until it started raining. Yesterday was our niece first birthday party and we were sad that we missed it.
