Jake.
I'm assuming he told you all about this surprise party thing.
I really wish you could have been there to see it. I'd been
babysitting and I walk up to the garage which is usually pretty
well lit and Hamilton is standing there with his guitar and amp
and he starts playing this song called "Bella's Birthday Cake"
which is by some band called Five for Fighting (isn't that a
hockey penalty?). When the song was over, the lights came on
and everyone yelled surprise. Two years of surprise parties
and you would have thought that I'd have caught on by now, but
I was surprised once again. Sean was still out of town, but
Will, Scout, Jill and Gwen came. Even Ms. Ryan and Finn brought
Meagan (the little girl I was babysitting). Hamilton even got
Grace to invite my friends from Edmund who I haven't been able
to spend much time with this summer. All around, it was a
very good way to end the summer. Granted, there's still a
few more weeks left, but I doubt this will be topped. Make
sure he knows how awesome he is for doing this? I wish you
could have been there too! I might visit the city some time
in the next few weeks so, if you're there, you'll have to
show me all the best places.
Love.
Bella.
