I think you are going to have a good time, but keep in mind that the day is short so don't forget the flashlight or headlamp.
Wear some good long underwear. As mentioned above, a stocking cap when you sleep helps.
I would avoid open flame in a tent. Arctic explorers figured out long ago that eating an ounce of fat gives you a lot more heat than burning a one ounce candle. And it is a lot safer to eat some extra butter on your sandwich.
If it is below freezing out, don't leave your water bottle where it will freeze.
Canister stoves do not work well in cold weather. I have taken my canister inside my sleeping bag overnight so that it will be warm in the morning.
