My 6th birthday party was unexpected.  My mom had picked me up from school and said I needed to finish homework before I could open my present.  So I went to my room but when I turned on the lights all my friends from school were there hiding and shouted "SURPRISE".  We ditched homework and played games the rest of the night.
That sounds like a really fun and joyful surprise.  Young birthdays are amazing.
Definitely.  Aside from my 21st my birthdays have been a lot more low key since then lol
Yeah, after 21 they really are pointless.  Most of my birthdays, I enjoy a good dose of work all day, lol.
