My
family celebrates my birthday every year. It was my tenth birthday on May 7.
In the morning I woke up and everyone said "Happy Birthday." I was
really happy but I was a little sleepy because it was still 9 AM. The smell
of my mom's chicken smelled so good that I went to the kitchen and wanted to
eat the chicken but my mom said I can't eat it all but I can have some. We had
about 6 people that came over to our house. I saw 3 presents. I ran to the presents
and wanted to open them. My mom said, "You can open two or one, but not
all." I said, "Why?" And my mom said, "Not all of our guests
have come over." I said, "OK Mom."
We had about 9 people and we started to eat. My mom made a cake. It was strawberry. It looked really good. My family could not come because they are in Russia. That was the sad part of my birthday, but it was nice to know that my mom was there with me.
My friends went home. It was really boring because all the children were so
little. After everyone went home my mom and me cleaned up the house. Mom said,
"You can open your presents." I got a game boy from my friend, a T-Shirt
- it was really cool. The color was green. I did not like the color but the
T-Shirt was nice. I was happy and I went to bed. My mom said, "You forgot
one more present." My mom gave me it and it was a little cat. I was so
happy I said to my mom, "Thank you." My mom said, "You're welcome."
I said, "Why?" She said, "You wanted a cat when you were seven,
so I gave you one." I said again, "Thank you." My mom said, "Go
to bed." I said, "OK." That was the best day of my life.
One year past - My cat is two years old. When I look at my cat I think of my best birthday.
