How I Celebrate my Birthday
(drawings, photos Russia)

The way I celebrate my birthday is by inviting some of my good friends over to my house. Over the years, I have done many different activities and themes for my birthday. Some of the themes include army, football, and baseball. Some of the activities include manhunt (kind of like tag), eating cake, opening presents, and inviting friends. One year I was also able to go to a water park with my friends Stone and Ryan. After the water park we opened our presents and ate cake. My favorite birthday party I have ever had was last year when I invited Tyler, Connor, Stone, Ethan, Carter, Sean, Danny, Liam, Harris, Aidan, Jack, Josh, and Christian to go play football on the football fields near the middle schools. It was really fun and everyone had a great time. These are just some of the ways I like to celebrate my birthday.

I usually celebrate my birthday with fun, action, and games. You may be wondering, How does she fit fun, action, and games into one afternoon? Well, I'll tell you how by telling you about my most recent party.

The fun part starts when everyone arrives. What I did for my party was inflate a bunch of balloons and scatter them all over my basement. The kids who came early would want something to do, so I brought them down to my basement. We took out a soccer net and started playing volleyball with one of the balloons! When everyone arrived, we ate pizza and headed out to the mall for the action !

For the action we did NOT go shopping, we went to “The Spider Jump”! It's basically a bunch of trampolines to jump on, but it's actually more! They attach you to bungie cords that are attached to the trampoline. When you jump, you go at least 15 feet high! We did cool tricks on it like front flips, back flips, and some of us did splits in the air!

The games were when we headed home to have fun with the balloons. We had relay races army style across the basement and through the balloons. When I say army style I mean army crawling across the floor. We also did another relay race where we were running across my basement trying to avoid touching the balloons. Then we played dodgeball in the team version.

I first celebrate my birthday by eating a great breakfast in the morning. Then my family and I would go out to celebrate by having lunch at a special place like. When I turned ten we went to Cheesecake Factory. On other occasions, we would also go to another place to have fun, such as Dave and Busters. Later in the night my family would buy me a chocolate cake. Last year I fell asleep in the car so when I woke up I was super excited to see my birthday cake. After I blew out the candles and everybody got a slice of cake I also opened my presents and that was the best part. Last but not least, all of my family in Puerto Rico would be calling to congratulate me. I'm looking forward to my next birthday!

I celebrate my birthday by doing plenty of things like picking my own dinner, getting gifts, and I get to pick a place to go to go on my birthday. I also love my birthday because it's a day all about me. My favorite part of the day is opening the presents. I like it because you never know what's inside the wrapping. That is how I celebrate my birthday.

I turned twelve on 20 th Nov 2013. I decided to celebrate my birthday with usual pomp and show.I invited all my friends and relatives to my birthday party which was to be held at Sri Makkan Restaurant in the evening on that particular day. I wore the red dress which had been gifted by my parents. Everybody in the partyappreciated my dress. By the evening, the hall was full of my relatives and my friends. I blew twelve candles which were placed on the chocolate charming cake. Everybody clapped loudly. As I started cutting the cake all the guests and my friends spoke out in chorus-'happy Birthday you' Then everybody was given a piece of cake and drinks. My father had also arranged an elaborate orchestra for the occasion. Everybody there automatically started dancing to the sweet melodious tunes. Then the dinner was held after which a brief session of skits, tidbits and jokes was held as the guest left I was tempted to have a glance at the gifts I had received I found all the gifts precious since they were presented with genuine love and affection.

The way we celebrate my birthday is by getting up early and opening all the presents. Then we get ready for the day and go out to a fun place. After that we go out to dinner. So that is how we celebrate my birthday.

How I celebrate my birthday is first I go to school and when the announcements come on Mrs. Spack tells us the names of birthdays that day. Then, after school, I ask my friend if he could play with me today. For the last birthday, I watched a movie with my friends and family on Friday and then my family and I went to Red Robin for dinner. After dinner we went home, and I was as stuffed as a turkey. Once we got home, we waited for my dad to get home. We did my favorite part, the presents. I always get the gifts I want, and if I do that means they did a great job. And then comes round two, the cake. They sing to me which makes me feel special. After the cake, I am stuffed. We watch a movie to let the food digest. After the movie we go to bed.

When my birthday comes, we usually celebrate it by doing different kinds of things. There are many decorations! My family comes over, we spend time with each other, and then we eat dinner. After that we all sing, “Happy Birthday”, and I blow out the candles of my cake with my cousin. After that while everybody is eating cake, I always invite her to come and open the presents and cards with me. Then the grownups talk and drink tea while all the kids and teanagers hang out with each other. I love my birthday!

In 2013, I celebrated my 10 th birthday by having a party and sleepover. Every year, I pick a new theme of the party. My theme for this party was candy. During the party we played games like volleyball, had a scavenger hunt and made glow in the dark jars.

In the middle of the party we came inside and played in the basement and hung out. Next, we ate pizza and had some refreshments. For this party, everyone picked out all different kinds of candy from the jars. Then everyone bounced on the trampoline or played volleyball.

At this time of the party, everyone left except for a few friends that slept over. Next, we got our pajamas on and got some more candy. We played in the basement some more and set up our sleeping bags and watched a movie. My friends and I stayed up to about 11:30pm and woke up to a surprise. The surprise was freshly made pancakes with syrup and whipped cream on top. We all either had water or orange juice with it. Finally, we all sat in a circle and I opened my presents. When my friends said their goodbyes and left I thought that this was the best birthday ever.

Everyone celebrates their birthday differently. Usually people's birthdays have cake with candles on it. I have cake except I do not use candles because in my religion I'm not allowed to. When I celebrate my birthday I will not throw a birthday party because I don't feel comfortable with it. We do sing the song happy birthday, and I do enjoy it. That is how I celebrate my special birthday!

I celebrate my birthday each year the way I wish. Usually, I choose to go out to dinner with my family to a restaurant of my choice and the waiters sing ‘Happy Birthday' to me and I get to have any dessert I want. Also, I invite three of my friends to sleep over for the night and the next day we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. That's how I celebrate my birthday, with my family and friends!

When I celebrate my birthday I have a party. First, I invite all of my closest friends to my house for a sleepover. Next, we play some games outside because my birthday is in July. After all the fun is finished, my friends and family sing 'Happy Birthday' to me and then we eat cake and ice cream. Finally, we play our electronics and watch a movie. Then we go to sleep. That is how I celebrate my birthday.

My birthday is on August 14. This is a great month to celebrate your birthday since my family usually throws me a great big summer backyard barbecue bash. We usually invite all of our family and friends. My parents set the backyard up for all sports, games and obstacle courses. After my friends leave, I get to hang out and spend time with the adults. We play games and talk until the late hours of the night. We have been known to have over 100 people in my backyard for my birthday party.

I celebrate my birthday every year. Some years my family and I go out and have a luxurious dinner, when other years we have a party. I always receive gifts either way. This year we went bowling and afterwards we had dinner at Bertucci's. After dinner, we came back home and had cake cutting. Usually, I invite my friends to the party, however this year I celebrated with family members. This is how I have mostly celebrated my birthdays. I might have to think of another way of celebrating my birthday.

Today I'm going to tell you how to have the most best party. First, you have to choose the theme that you like for your party. Then you get the decorations that go with your theme. You would get some balloons that say how old you're turning. Order some pizza and some French fries for your friends. Then you would have a time to open presents. If it's okay with your parents then you should ask if you can have a sleepover. Now that you have more time if you can have a sleepover, you can have some fun activities that you can plan. You can also ask your friends which movie they want to watch. Then tell them that we can stay up to whatever they want too. Then invite your friends over at a time.

I celebrate my Birthday by going out to dinner or an event and then afterward I have a sleepover. In my most recent Birthday, I went out to dinner at Aarang. We then went back to my house with my friends and we had a crazy sleepover. It was so fun! These are some of the fun things I do when it's my birthday!!

Do you love to celebrate your birthday? I do! I look forward to celebrating my birthday each year. My favorite thing to do is have my family over. It is an excuse to get together with both my grandmas, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I love it when they all gather around the table and sing “happy birthday”. It is a family tradition to sing to everyone who has a birthday coming soon. It is also a tradition to smear your name on the cake after you blow out the candles. My Aunt Michele says it is for good luck! Celebrating birthdays in my family is so much fun.

I celebrate my birthday in a cafe in the town, eat rolls, sushi. I got money from my relatives on the last birthday.

Many people in the world celebrate their birthdays differently but I celebrate mine by getting together and having fun with my friends and family. First in the morning I watch TV in bed while I eat breakfast. Then later in the day I do to the mall with all my friends. Then I go to dinner with my family. After all that, I setal down to a fun sleep over with my friends. I love my birthday!!!

Everyone has a birthday and there are a million ways to celebrate. This is how I celebrate my birthday. On my birthday I go out to dinner with my family and have cake. On the weekend closest to my birthday, I have a party and a sleepover with my closest friends. Then I get to have another cake! Now that is how I celebrate my birthday. How do you celebrate yours?
Kayli Williams (USA)

Every year my family throws a party for me for my birthday. It's usually a slumber party. I'm only allowed to invite two people, but I'd like to invite more. We throw a party with cake and sing happy birthday, (Which I normally hide for) and watch movies, but my favorite part is the s'mores. In bed we tell ghost stories and play word games, but we eventually get bored, so when my parents go to sleep we sneak downstairs and continue to party with movies, games and pillow fights. In the morning of course we're tiered, but we've had lots of good fun. All the birthdays I've had have been loaded with fun and action, and I hope many more.
Lauren ( USA )

Each year I celebrate my birthday the same. I celebrate with my family. In my family I have me, my mom, my dad, and my sister, Kadie. We would go out to dinner and I choose the place. I would also have a party where I invite my friends over. I sometimes have it at my house and sometimes at other places. I also have a family party where my Nana, aunts, uncles, and cousins will come over to my house. At every party I told you about we will have cake or cupcakes or even ice cream. Only at my friend party will we have games and snacks, like chips. That is how I celebrate my birthday every year.
Jordan ( USA )

Every year, I like to celebrate my birthday in a different way. For a while I would throw a birthday party, where all of my friends would come, but for my most recent birthday I have just invited a friend over my house and had a sleepover. Some of the birthday parties I have had include activities like bowling, swimming, and laser tag. Normally I would invite about 7 kids to a party and my brother would have the opportunity to invite a friend too. Sometimes my cousins would come to my birthday party too! Anyway, those are the things I do on my birthday!
Robyn (USA)

We all celebrate birthdays; but, all of us celebrate in different ways. I blow out my birthday candles on May 27 th of every year since 2003. Normally, if my birthday falls on a weekday, then my mom and dad wake me up early so I can open my presents and be off to school. The school announces my name and gives me a birthday pencil along with a slip for a free snack at lunch. I bring in treats for everyone in my class each year if my birthday falls on a weekday. Then at night, my family and I go to a restaurant after I finish my homework. I wait until the weekend coming up to throw a party. If my birthday falls on a weekend, then I'll wake up late to my parents singing the birthday song. My relatives call from India as I open my presents. Soon, my friends come over for a party to eat cake and have fun. That's how I celebrate my birthday.

Each year I celebrate my birthday by inviting my friends to my birthday party. Usually, I have a different kind of party every year. One of my favorite parties was when a video game truck came to my house. There was also a giant inflatable hamster ball that we could roll around in. Last year was one of my best parties. A limousine picked up me and all my friends at school and drove us around town. No matter what kind of party I have, it always ends with me blowing out the candles on my delicious cake. After my party is over I get to open all my presents.

My birthday is August 2 and coincidently we are usually on vacation with my dad's parents. To celebrate my birthday we go out to eat. Last year we went to the Rusty Rudder for the Sea and Land Buffet. It is the best restaurant I have gone to for my birthday. After dinner we went to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk for their rides and games. When we were finished at the boardwalk we went to an ice cream parlor called The Ice Cream Store. Finally, we ate our ice cream on the Jolly Trolley ride home.
