Today is a special day. It is my birthday! My name is Emma. I am seven years old today. I wake up early in the morning. I am very happy and excited. I run to the kitchen. Mom and Dad are there. 'Happy birthday, Emma!' they say. I give them a big hug. Mom makes my favorite breakfast. I love pancakes with honey. After breakfast, my friends come to our house. There are five friends at my party. We play games in the garden. We run, jump, and laugh a lot. The sun is warm and bright. Then it is time for cake! Dad brings a big chocolate cake. There are seven candles on the cake. Everyone sings 'Happy Birthday' to me. I close my eyes and make a wish. I blow out all the candles. The cake is very delicious. Now it is time for presents! I open my gifts one by one. I get a new book from my grandma. I get a teddy bear from my best friend. Mom and Dad give me a red bicycle. I am so happy! I say 'Thank you!' to everyone. In the evening, my friends go home. I am a little tired but very happy. This is the best birthday ever! I love my family and friends.
