I had the best birthday ever! My original birthday present was my cat Matt. But to my surprise, my Dad and Mom gave me a telescope too! It has been so much fun using it! Mom made me a cute cat cake! It was not only cute but it was delicious too! I was spoiled a lot! Our grandparents came over from Minot. I got a lot of stuff. Alice and I taught everyone how to play the card game spoons. It was a lot of fun! I have waited for this day for my whole life (turning 11 on 11-11-11)... and now its done.:( Alice was very happy that I blew out all 11 candles at the same time. :) I also noticed that she sang extra loud. :D We had an awesome time. Even Teagan said, "It feels like its my birthday too cause we are having so much fun!"
