It's Her Birthday...and She'll Lie if She Wants To

The night at the hotel went pretty well. Keely chose to eat dinner at Red Rock Brewing Co. (the girl has some good taste!) and then we headed back to the hotel to change into our swimsuits. Quinn snapped this photo of Keely and I at dinner.

The pool was pretty chilly but you know that never bothers kids. I only partook in the hot tub which is probably why I ended up getting sick the next day (more on that later). We let the kids swim until almost 9 PM then tried to get them to calm down with some chocolate fudge cake and ice cream (something tells me that plan was not well thought out...lol). We all ended up going to sleep a little after 10 and I knew the morning would be rough. The crazy guy knocking on the door at 12:45 was annoying and that ended my good night's sleep. We were all up about 6 AM but the excitement of Keely's birthday kept everyone going strong through breakfast.

Keely brought cupcakes to her class and then the rest to EDP to share with the teachers there. Enter the lying part, just a small white lie that she told to get a second cupcake. No big deal and to be honest, aside from that it has been her only infarction the last two weeks.

She opened her presents after a fast food dinner at Wendy's. She got a Barbie sleepover puppy dog from Quinn, and a diary, jewelry box and some more Easy Bake oven supplies from us. Then we had cake. Well not me because at that point I am in the midst of the stomach virus I caught in the hot tub (allegedly). I make James take these pictures for posterity as I am doubled over with nausea. Too much information, I know. She was happy nonetheless to be sung to and enjoyed her cake. For a Kroger box cake, it was not bad but definitely a little cardboard like (I finally was up to tasting it last night).

And without further ado, here is my Princess cake with no face drawing required :)
