In the morning on my birthday my parents lay the presents near my bed. So the first thing I see when I open my eyes is my presents. My Mom and Dad come to my room to congratulate me and to sing "Happy Birthday".

Usually we hold my birthday party in the evening. I am always very glad to meet my guests. I like to get presents. Mom gives me the telegram from my aunt. We have an abundant dinner on this day. Mom brings in the birthday cake. I blow the candles out. We dance and sing songs, play games and laugh, joke, tell funny stories.

I think that my birthday is one of the best days in a year.
