She got to spend the day at school. I think that every one of her next 13 birthdays will be spent at school (except for those years when they fall on Saturdays or Sundays). It was exciting though because she got to wear a birthday hat all day, Mr. Matthews, the principal gave her a new pencil, her name was read over the load speaker during announcements, her teacher gave her a note with some candy, the bus driver had a little gift for her (the next day because she couldn't find them). And best of all, Mom and Natalie brought in ice cream and cupcakes to her class to celebrate. What a great way to meet all the kids and become the hero for cooling off the kids with ice cream.
Then, that night, she got to have one of the "girlfriends" Leslie come over to play and have cake.
