Pre-Birthday Party Preparations


This week is my step-daughter's birthday. She hates when I say "step". So I always introduce her as my daughter. She does sometimes alternate from Mom to my first name. I think it confuses people but what the heck! It makes her feel good and that is all I care about.

This will be her first birthday party at our new home. I hope everyone shows up.
My princess spent the majority of the weekend circling what she wanted out of the Toys R Us and Walmart catalogues. Boy! were there A LOT of circles. I get a kick out of kids. They think BIG you know?

My husband and I had already shopped for her gifts last week but I still wanted her to feel like she had a hand in it. And she did get a few of the items she circled. She made her guest list out two weeks ago and kept asking me who else? Who else? Birthday gifts on her mind.

I'm still trying to mentally prepare myself for this party. All the guests to cater to. I'm not so sure I'm up to it but it's much too late for second thoughts and I would do anything for my little girl.

I'm going to attempt to make a three tiered cake with my new cake pans purchased at Walmart.

Wish me luck!
