DPOV (surprise party!)
Today's my birthday, and Roza and the kids are throwing my a little birthday party. I didn't really want one at first, but Roza convinced me to have one. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful wife like her. And I am even more grateful for our children. But I have a feeling Roza's hiding something from me, I don't know what, but something. I won't ask because Roza might get irritated for asking.

Roza had given me an entire list of things I should do for the afternoon. She said I had to keep myself busy for a little bit, since she wasn't done decorating the house yet. I was able to do everything on Roza's list, but I guess I finished too early because when I called she told me not to come home yet. So I just re-did the things on Roza's list. When Roza called me and said I could come home, I was a little relieved. I couldn't wait to see what Roza had done.

When I got home, I felt a little odd. I shook off the feeling and tried to unlock the door, but it was already unlocked. I opened it slowly and took a cautious step forward. The whole house was dark. The odd feeling returned, and I felt a bit uncomfortable. Then, it happened so fast, the lights turned on and I nearly jumped two feet in the air by the shouts of: "SURPRISE!"
I looked around, I saw my family and Roza and the kids and Ivan and Lissa and Christian and everyone I know, smiling at me. I couldn't help but give a silly grin back. Roza ran up to me and tackled me with a hug, kissing me hungrily. After she let me go, the kids attacked me, telling me "Happy birthday" over and over. I kissed the tops of their heads and gave Roza a suspicious look.
"You said this was a family party," I said.
Roza smiled even wider. "It is a family party." It took me a minute to realize what she meant. I grabbed her and gave her a big hug.

Roza, along with Mama's help, made a huge chocolate cake. Though chocolate isn't exactly my favorite, I ate it to be nice to Roza. She did a good job. After the cake and the "happy birthday" song, I was bombarded with presents. Paul wanted me to open his present first. When I opened it, there was a box filled with DVDs of western movies. I gave Paul a hug and thanked him. One by one I got presents from my friends and family. Lissa and Christian, who, I guess, broke up again, put their money together to buy me a new laptop; Sonya got me a puppy and Roza was excited to add it to the family; Karolina and Mikhail got me another duster; Mama got me a new video camera; Ivan got me a cowboy hat (I just laughed); Mia and Eddie got me a whole series of western books, and so on and so on.
By the time I finished opening the gifts, I was exhausted. I thanked everyone and after hanging out for a little bit, they began leaving. Roza and the kids picked up all the garbage. I wanted to help but Roza refused to let me. Once the garbage was thrown out, Roza said that Sonya, who was the last one at the house, was going to be watching over them for the rest of the afternoon.
"C'mon, kids," Sonya said.
"Aunt Sonya, did you like the gift I gave daddy?" Arianna asked.
"It was very nice, sweetheart." When they left, Roza gave me a mischievous smile. She grabbed my hand and yanked me up. She made me follow her upstairs.
"Here's your birthday present," she said, then kissed me. Still kissing, we found our bedroom, went inside, and closed the door.
