Keeley's *Almost* Slumber Party

Keeley had a group of her favorite girls over for her birthday party this weekend.  We decided to have an Almost Slumber Party!  All the fun of a slumber party, but everyone went home to snuggle up in their own beds at bedtime.  :)

While I was searching online for a theme, thinking of something like "No More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed," Keeley spotted some Paul Frank monkeys, and fell in love!  She asked for a monkey nightgown for her party, and everything fell into place from there!

I got some cute ideas for invitations online, and came up with these:

They opened up to show Keeley in her PJ's with pancakes and a toothbrush.

And all the details:

We had a busy day getting ready for the party - decorating and preparing food.

The table was made up like a bed!

The first activity was decorating pillowcases!

Then they decorated toothbrushes!  There are Spinbrushes for kids that come with fun sets of stickers, and the girls enjoyed personalizing them!

While the girls were crafting away, I had Todd on pancake duty, and I popped an egg casserole in the oven.  Then it was time to eat!

She got some really cute things from her sweet friends.  :)

After that, the girls got comfy and ready to watch a movie.  We brought the Guinea Pigs down for them, and turned on Alvin and the Chipmunks - Chipwrecked. :D

All too soon it was bedtime, and our guests headed home.  Here are Keeley and her good friend Hailey being goofy instead of saying goodnight.  ;)
