Happy Birthday to Me

At the movies. Guardians of the Galaxy, July 31.

July 31, 1997 a beautiful princess was born... ME!

My birthday is July 31 and every year my celebrations get better and better. This year was the best, no doubt!

My mother tricked me into thinking that I wasn't going to be able to do anything because she was busy on a project at work. She said that she needed to print a huge document at Kinko's and then we would go out and do something. I thought I wasn't going to get any gifts. Well, she comes back and she tells me that she needs me to get something out of the car. I go downstairs, put on my shoes and all of the sudden I see an edible fruit bouquet and a stuffed bear holding a plush chocolate strawberry on the table. My whole face lit up! The first thing I wanted to do was eat the bouquet, but my mom forced me to take some pictures first (she takes pictures of everything). If you've never had an edible bouquet, you have to try one. It was delicious. The pineapple were crisp; the grapes plump and juicy; the strawberries (no words!).

Thinking that this was the gift, I started to relax, but then mom told me to go outside to get something out of the car. I go to the car, open the door and I see a big gift bag. Before long I am tearing through the bag looking at my gifts. I see a lot of Hello Kitty school supplies, an awesome pair of boots (brown, short, like Doc Marteens). I also see a beautiful dress, (pictured above), a new curling iron, and way at the bottom of the bag, new Sony headphones! 

Every year is the best birthday ever. I got to spend time with my wonderful mother, and we saw Guardians of the Galaxy! We had a great time at the movies, and I had the best time with her!

Thank you mommy for the wonderful day! I love you.
