Monica was hoping for a Barbie-themed birthday party this year. I suggested Berenstain Bears so we could give out books instead of plastic toys and candy as favors. So we compromised and did a Berenstain-Barbie party. (The decorations and pinata were Barbie, the movie choice and favors were Berenstain Bears.) The party was also an "Almost Sleepover" where the girls wore their pajamas and did everything like it was a sleepover except actually spend the night! We started off with a pizza dinner, then opened gifts and had birthday cake. Then we played some games and finished off with popcorn and Berenstain Bears movies.
We played "Pin the Heart on Barbie" instead of pin the tail on the donkey. We also played Twister, had a "Candywalk" (instead of a cakewalk), and had a pinata.
Abigail got to actually spend the night. They were up pretty late (sorry Sara and Nick!) but it was a special treat for both girls.
PS. And just to make it a perfect night, the Husky women's basketball team WON a game tonight!

Happy birthday Monica!
Great idea to had out books for favors. I'm sure the parents appreciated it, too. :)
