Kelsey's Birthday

We celebrated Kelsey's 6th birthday this week!  Her birthday fell mid-week, so we celebrated that day with cupcakes at school

 and going out to dinner at the Inn at Whittier.

Our family tradition is that the birthday kid gets to choose what to eat on her birthday--this is the first time someone has requested to go out to dinner...I'm still not sure how I feel about that! :-)  One thing I am sure about...the view there is unsurpassed!

Then on Friday we had a little party here at our place...lots of fun for everyone!  Kelsey chose the menu...hot dogs!  I also made a bacon ranch pasta salad (yum!) and of course...birthday cake!  I frosted the whole thing using the grass tip, then used some things from the toy box to decorate it.  She seemed pleased...and has already requested another cake "just like it, but with different horses" for next year!

Happy Birthday, Kelsey!
