The suspense of waiting for it began to overwhelm me! The clock seemed to move so slowly I was convinced it was broken. There were so many thoughts pounding in my head, what kind of pizza will we get? What presents will I have? Will I get a prize at the arcade?

Finally it had come! My birthday! We arrived at Pizza King and ordered some pepperoni and meat-lovers pizza, it tasted amazing! After pizza and cake we began to open presents.The first one I opened was an awesome Minecraft t-shirt from Logan. Then I got a Minecraft animal origami set, to which I exclaimed “wait a moment I have this one, now I can have two times the ocelots!” Thirdly I got a plastic creeper figure which I named Frank and stuck a mustache on. And lastly I got a card from Nathan, that probably came from the daughters birthday section.

Afterwards we went to put-put to play at the arcade, we got a lot of tickets. We each got a stuffed snake, I named mine Douglas (which I also stuck a mustache on). And so after that we drove home.

So then after all the fun, I started to play with my new legos from my parents and waited for the next birthday to come. The moral of the story being it does no good to obsess over time, for the times in-between have the potential to be just as golden.
