My Sister’s Birthday

Yesterday was my sister’s ninth birthday. It was pretty busy, but fun. As birthday gifts our parents got her a scooter, a dress for her doll, a webkinz and a pack of markers. I gave her an amish doll that I had. Also a little porcelain doll that I got from somewhere and a stuffed dog. I put all of this in a basket with a piece of cloth in the bottom and put something under the cloth. When I gave it to her, she was really happy  and then I said, “That’s not all!” she didn’t really know where to look and was looking on the dolls to see if I put something on them. Then my mom said, “Maybe she hid something under the cloth!” so she looked. Jackpot! Underneath the cloth were my little “Calico Critters”. They are little animal figurines. Their arms and legs can move and their really just cute and fun to play with, but they were getting a little boring for me, and my sister loves them, so I gave them to her. I can’t even describe how funny it was to watch her unveil them! She put a hand to her chest closed her eyes and said, “Just, just give me a minute.” and she pretended to faint. After she opened her presents, we had breakfast which was my dad’s famous french toast and sausage. Then my dad had to leave for work and the rest of us went to a local craft store and got some things for a “wee garden” (See “blogroll”-I haven’t figured out how too insert a link into the text yet). We got home from the craft store and stayed for a half an hour and then went to visit our dad at work. We brought lunch and birthday cake and we sang “Happy Birthday”. Then we played tennis. After we played tennis we went home. My sister was allowed to pick the dinner and she picked a pasta with a creamy, cheesy sauce, ham and mushrooms. Sort of like macaroni but different. After dinner we played outside for a while and then got ready for bed. It seemed like a satisfying birthday.
