Ring. Ring. My alarm clock rings at 4:45 a.m. I go to wake up my brother and we all scurry down the stairs. First we get the cards and the present. Then we get the balloon. Last but not least we get the cake, licorice, and chocolate-covered raisins. Mom comes down to the kitchen, and she sees the table nicely set. Daniel and I are hiding. Daniel is hiding in the cubby, and I am hiding in the corner. When we hear Mom say how nice it looks we go out and sing to Mom, "Happy Birthday!"
I felt excited about preparing Mom's Birthday, and what Mom would say. At first I thought it was scary to go and wake up Daniel, so I hurried to wake him up. But when we went downstairs I felt more brave because Daniel was with me. Mom says that we prepared her breakfast for her. We had cake for breakfast.
After that we went for a walk down to the pond.
