Then they all shouted, “Happy Birthday!” I was so surprised! I saw balloons, gifts, games and a cake. The cake looked so delicious. I could hardly wait to taste it.

Finally, I opened my gifts. I got a beautiful yellow dress, a skateboard, and a fluffy teddy bear. My favorite gift of all was a lovely purple scarf. It was the best birthday party ever!
