Birthday Sleepover

I have started trying to do a big friend party only every other year so this was the year we didn't have a big friend party. So instead I let Adrie invite her cousins over for a sleepover.

They had pizza

















Adrie wanted a "strawberry shortcake" theme











She was really excited about her new strawberry/ballerina PJ's to wear to the sleepover



She got a new Christmas Strawberry Shortcake movie to watch with everyone


We had a pinata...which happened to be the TInkerbell one she used last year because we couldn't find a strawberry shortcake one that Adrie approved of.


The crew


What is a sleepover without a pillow fight?





Before the kids went to bed we planted seeds (aka frosted cheerios) in "magic dirt" (aka crushed oreos) and we told the kids that they had to grow their own breakfast. As they were going to bed they said "I really hope mine grows so I don't have to just eat dirt for breakfast!"



In the morning they were excited to see that it worked! Their seeds turned into doughnuts!


Adrie got some fun new things...I love birthdays because it means my kids are entertained with new things afterwards!

Where do you get your crazy cute ideas like the donuts? And can you write a book so I don't forget them all by the time my kids are old enough to get them??

I am trying to think of an occasion to do the donut idea for my kids. I love it. Glad the sleepover went well, despite a sick child. I really like the cake, too.
