My birthday.

Yesterday, Dec the 5th, was my birthday. Because I am going to Israel for my birthday, we didn't really do much but it was still a fun and lovely day. A little family tradition is that dad always takes the birthday child out to breakfast on his/her birthday so we went out to Deny's for breakfast. Before that though, I opened my presents. I got a basketball from Matthew, a little horse ornament from Rachel, some lip gloss from Joel (Mum actually brought it of course), and the airplane tickets to Israel and 100 shekels, which is Israeli money. I also got 50 dollars from my Aunt. Anyway, Dad and I had a wonderful time at Deny's, and ate way too much. Then Mum and I went to the mall, and I brought some slippers because it is freezing! We also went to a horse tack shop to buy me some riding gloves. Then we came back and went to Rock Creek, where I had a riding lesson. We had shifted the lesson to Wednesday so that Dad could come and watch since my lesson which is usually on Tuesday and he works that day. We came back home and watched National Treasure and had my favorite dinner and dessert. During that time, a friend from church, came over and gave me a MP3 player, which I was very happy with, because now the 12 and a half hour flight to Israel won't be quite so boring. So my birthday was a very enjoyable day. I am having a few friends over on Friday to sleepover and watch a movie with me as well. Here is a video that Mum took of me riding on my favorite horse Kramer.
