Preparations

Tomorrow my baby girl will turn 6 years old! Wow, where did that time go?!?! I was a tad unprepared but in a last flurry, we seem to be ready for her special day. Her cake is made and decorated (photos to come) -- she chose a box Princess cake that came with edible princess images. Those that know my history will be familiar with my past attempts at princess cakes, not too successful to say the least. I am just not good at making faces! So this was a welcome relief, to have it all done for me. It came out really cute and we'll see how it tastes since it was a store brand cake mix. We are celebrating Keely's birthday a tad different this year. James is taking the P.E. (Professional Engineer) exam tomorrow downtown at the Salt Palace. So instead of driving him down there for the early morning start (it's an 8 hour test), we decided to stay downtown in the Hilton...for free, of course using our points. As usual, I am hoping for an upgrade to Executive Level which means bigger rooms and free food :) We will head down this evening after work and Keely gets to choose where we have dinner, as it will be her official birthday dinner. Then we will swim in the pool and try to get to bed at some reasonable hour because there is still school/work tomorrow. I'm picking up cupcakes (pink frosting with princess rings, of course) this evening to bring to Kindergarten tomorrow morning. So her cake is made, presents are wrapped and we are all set for the big day. She is beyond excited and the added fun of a night in a hotel is making it even more exciting!
