One day I woke and wanted to surprise my mom and dad. They had been working so hard that I wanted to throw a surprise party with my very best friend. It would be at her house.

My mom and dad drove me to my best friend's, Addison, house. They didn't know about their surprise party. When we got there, I went to the front door, but I asked my parents to wait in the car, please.

There was several cars parked secretly around the neighborhood, so Emma's parents wouldn't notice any surprise party details. Everyone was waiting and hiding inside ready to pop out and say "Happy Birthday!"

Katie, Addison's mom called Emma's mom and offered to have her come in for a quick bite of her delicious lunch. She said, "I made extra of my favorite chicken salad with a great desert. Everyone was waiting to say "surprise."
