My First and Last 12th Birthday

For my birthday, I had a lot of new experiences.

• I made my own birthday cake. It was the first cake I made with minimal help.
• I was almost done with school for the year because in the Philippines the school year is June - March.
• I also enjoyed a Skype call,which gave me my favorite present that my grandparents and cousin [my best friend] are coming :)!
• It was my first birthday in a foreign country.

On my birthday, I enjoyed opening my presents and making mac &cheese. I had a lot of fun watching a movie, eating pizza, and drinking pop on Saturday after my birthday with some friends.
