Thank you,
The most exciting experience during my holiday were new born babies of my sister-in-law. I feelt so happy because I saw twin babies for the first time in my life and they really looked alike. Maria and Jame are the first twins in our family therefore we all were very enthusiastic about them. Their mother was tired so we worried a bit. Fortunatelly a few days latter she got better and we trew our traditional family party for the new born. It was interesting as I met my old friends I did not see for ages. I also met some new friends and could taste my favourite meals which my mother-in-law prepared. On the other hand I got the chance to invite some friends from abroad to show them the beautiful babies celebrating tradition in my country.

I did my best, hope English native speakers will correct me though.
cheers

You have passed the baton, so:

The most exciting experience during my holiday was seeing the newborn babies of my sister-in-law.

You have said it was exciting just a sentence or so ago, so it's sufficient just to tell us why you were excited.

It was the first time in my life I had seen twin babies and they really did look alike. Maria and Jame are the first twins in our family so we were all very elated. Their mother was tired by the birth, which caused us some worry. Fortunately, a few days later/after a few days, she felt better and we threw our traditional family party for the new born. That was also interesting as I met (my-omit) old friends I had not seen for ages. I also made some new friends and got to taste my favourite meals which my mother-in-law prepared.
On the other hand

I had

the chance to invite some friends from abroad to share in the traditional party celebrating beautiful babies in my country.
