My Birthday!

Addy here!
 As some of you might know, by birthday was July 7, just this last Wednesday. Due to family stuff we had going on, I was not able to have my party until today. It sure was a lot of fun though! It was a small party, just Stacy, Luna, Becky, Father, Mum, and me.


                                  First we had snacks...

Isn't my cake pretty? Mum made it!

Then we opened presents...

                                                                                        

And then we ate cake! Aren't these plates adorable? Mum made them for us. They remind me of lily pads. =)

 So, I had a great birthday! I am now 13 years old, and I don't really feel much different than I did when I was 12! I'm looking forward to another year! Another year of summer fun, hopefully the Quidditch World Cup, spending time with friends and family, and going back to Hogwarts!
 That's all for now, folks.

Entry for Roses are Read's Summer Photo Contest

Hello!
 There are 5 days until my thirteenth birthday, and I can hardly wait! It will be a fantastic birthday because Stacy, Becky, and Luna have made peace!

 This morning, I guess Stacy felt really bad about how she's been treating everyone. So she apologized to everyone at breakfast. Luna and I were very quick to forgive her. It took Becky a little coaxing, but she finally gave in and apologized as well. I am so excited that everyone has finally made up!

 So since things have been going so well, I invited my human friend Steph over. She took a picture of us, and we decided to enter it for Roses are Read's Summer Photo Contest.

This year, the meaning of summer is extra special. For us, it means new friendships and new beginnings. It means biting our tongues when we want to say something mean, and saying kind things instead. Most of all, it means putting aside our differences and just enjoying the beauty of the season.
