My Birthday Surprise
"My Birthday Surprise" was created especially for Amber Conroy.
With love from, Mommy and Daddy August, 2004.
Amber Conroy was so excited! Her "big" day had finally
arrived! She had reminded everyone in Peterborough, Ontario
about her birthday on August 15th, for a long time. Amber
had not wanted a single person to forget this special day. Today was the 15th.
For months now, Amber had been dreaming day and night about
her party. She had asked her friends again and again, "Do you suppose my
birthday will ever get here?" There were many names on her invitation list.
Amber hoped Kyle could come. She was really
looking forward to a great time!
It seemed to Amber that her dreams always started out the
same way. She would be sitting in the middle of an enormous room all dressed
up for her party. Beside her was a key ring with 10 magic keys, each a different
color. Around her would be doors, and Amber knew that the keys
were there to open those matching, colored doors.
In each dream, Amber would find many happy, wonderful surprises
behind the locked doors...except for one. There were 11 doors, but only 10 keys.
Amber wondered how she would get into that last room. There
wasn't even a knob on the door. Every time she would start to search for the
missing key, she would wake up. Oh well! Maybe Kyle would help
her.
In her dreams, Amber liked to start with the blue key that
unlocked the blue door. The blue room looked as if it held a billion bouncing
balloons. There were balloons of different shapes, colors and sizes, and Amber
had fun walking through them. There was one balloon that had to be the biggest,
bluest balloon she had ever seen. This was so much fun, Amber
raced on to the next door!
When Amber opened the cherry red door, she almost fell backward!
What a fun dream! In front of her was a monstrous mountain of melting ice cream.
There were cherries, nuts, whipped cream and syrup running down the sides. Amber
thought it would be so much fun to slide down this kind of mountain. What a
delightful, delicious time she would have!
The second door opened up to a white room with lots and lots of birthday cakes.
There were tiny cakes and gigantic cakes and cakes just big enough for Amber
to eat all by herself. Some cakes were huge, but there was one snowy white cake
behind the white door that had 7 huge layers. It was a cake for Amber.
She wanted to show all these beautiful cakes to Kyle.
The green room had so many presents that Amber had trouble
opening the door. She wondered if any of the gifts were from Kyle.
She was hoping that one of those boxes would have something very nice she could
play with on her birthday. Maybe it was the gigantic green gift box! Should
she open it? No, she must hurry to the next door.
Amber giggled when she opened the orange door to the clown
room. Inside she found forty funny clowns, most of them with bright orange hair.
There were fat clowns and thin clowns, short clowns and tall clowns, happy clowns
and sad clowns. Some clowns did tricks while other silly clowns just clowned
around. In this orange room, Amber laughed until she could
laugh no more.
Amber jumped up and down when she opened the glittering gold
door and found a golden room full of rides for her birthday party. In the middle
of the room was a beautiful gold merry-go-round. Surrounding it, Amber
could see the ponies with their golden saddles, a train ride and even a small
Farris wheel!
A pink door opened up into a candy room. Amber was amazed
at all the candy. She found suckers, gumdrops, lollipops, peppermint sticks,
hard candies, soft candies and all kinds of chocolate candies. There was also
the biggest, bubbliest bunch of pink bubble gum that she had ever seen. Amber
knew that she would have to share this candy with Kyle or she
would have a big tummy ache.
Behind the brown door were many, many huggable animals. Amber
wanted to hold and squeeze the soft, cuddly brown teddy bears, as well as the
cats, dogs, monkeys and dinosaurs. Some of the other animals, like the giraffe,
were taller than Amber. Others were so small they would fit
in her hand. If she put all these animals in her room, she might not be able
to find her bed. Wow, that would be neat!
When Amber opened the yellow door, she found a yellow room
filled with games fit for a king. Amber saw pin the tail on
the donkey, a fishing pond, balloons for water fights, jacks, musical chairs,
drop the clothespin in the bottle, bobbing for yellow apples, hopscotch and
ring toss. Amber knew exactly which games she would play first
in the yellow room.
Using the shiny silver key, Amber opened the silver door and
saw colorful streamers decorating every inch of the tenth room. She also found
everything else she needed for her birthday party. Here were the plates, cups,
napkins, forks and spoons. For her guests, there were stacks and stacks of silver
whistles, silver bells, horns, blowers, birthday hats and other party favors.
She knew that she was ready for her birthday party when she saw the squirt guns!
Amber found herself in front of the last door that had no
key. She leaned against the door to peek through the keyhole and, as she did,
the door silently opened. She looked inside. The Rainbow-colored room was ready
for a birthday party with something from each of the other ten rooms, but Amber
was puzzled. Something was missing! How could a birthday party be fun if you
were all alone? She became very sad.
Suddenly many voices sang out "Surprise!" and "Happy Birthday!"
at the same time. Amber Conroy blinked her eyes and immediately
stopped daydreaming. She turned around and saw Kyle. This was
her best birthday surprise of all! Now she knew that having family and friends
was much more important than all the presents and decorations or even the cake.
Oh, it was fun to be 5 and have a birthday celebration!
Happy Birthday!
Amber Conroy
