My Birthday Party

On Sunday right after Church everyone had to get ready for my birthday party. We had to clean, sweep, change clothes, and clean! I mean, everyone was doing something at one point. I was very excited!! In about 2 hours the house looked as good as new. The first one to come was my friend from across the street. Next, one of my best friends from school arrived, then another friend. Finally, all 3 people had arrived. Nobody wanted anything to eat or drink, so we decided to swimming right away. Everybody was very excited about going swimming. As we walked down to the pool, we talked about stuff, then we arrived at the pool. Everybody had to just get in and get used to the water when another one of my friends showed up. It was great, because now we had more people!! We decided to play Categories. It is a game where there is one person standing on the edge of the pool with their back to the pool. They ask a question like: What is your favorite color?? Then the caller calls out different answers. When you hear your answer, you try to quietly swim to the other side of the pool. But, if the caller hears you, then they can jump into the water and try to tag you. If you get tagged, then you are the caller and you can start with a new question. We played that for a good 20 minutes. Then we decided to play 'Jump In and Catch It'. It is where one person is the thrower and when it is your turn, you run and jump into the pool while trying to catch the ball that the thrower is throwing to you. That was fun also. Nearing the end of our swimming time, my mom called 5 minutes. Then we left. We walked home and changed into our clothes so that we could do sundaes. Everybody was very thorough about what they were to put on their sundaes. There was another option that you could decorate a cupcake too, but a lot of people were too full to have one. Next was the presents! Yea!! I opened my brother's present first, and it was a Jack Russell Webkinz!! I was so happy!! He also got me some Stone Wash Jeans for my plush toy and a Webkinz Coat for my plush toy too. Next I opened my friend from across the street's present. WOW!! She got me a journal, some sticky notes, a pen, and.... A GIFT CARD TO BOOKS-A-MILLION!!! That was a great present. Next I opened another present, it was a Tawny Pup Webkinz!! She was so beautiful!! Then I read the card from my friend from dance team. Inside was $10! Last but not least,
