My thirteenth birthday party came around which was a special day in my religion. I had a big party and all my friends and family came. I can remember it as if it was yesterday. All my friends and family congratulating me "Happy thirteenth birthday and many more to come." I had some family there that is not alive today which means a lot to me.

     We danced, had cake, ate lunch, and played games. I had a music theme for my party so everyone sat at a different music group table. I sat at the Backstreet Boys table with some of my friends since they used to be my favorite group. I recited a poem about a different family member and my friends and then they came up and lit their candle. I had thirteen candles. I had different music in the background for each person that came up to light a candle.
     
      Everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. I received a lot of presents from my friends and family and they all signed their names and wrote me a little note on my name board. The title for the theme of my party was "Rock and roll with Tracey Nicole". I had a fun time at my party and wish I could do it again.
