I never expected this gift from them. After that, another surprise was waiting on the table: my mum and dad tried to surprise me with a cake. I was completely shocked about my birthday. After that, I felt very happy to have such caring and considerate parents and grandparents. I also tried to make them happy too because I realized that surprise gifts make me happier than ever.
