Indirect speech

My aunt en uncle: " we will certainly come to your birthday" when you have to put that sentence in the indirect speech, is it
: they said they would certainly come to your birthday or they said that they would certainly come to your birthday

Those are both OK. In formal writing I recommend including "that", but in everyday English it would frequently be dropped.
