I only ever had two birthday parties with my peers. Both were held at the American Museum of Natural History. One was African wildlife-themed, one was dinosaur-themed. They were SO much fun. We invited a ton of kids, but for the most part, everyone behaved and paid attention to the party leader. Looking back, that seems kind of miraculous. (I wonder if Stacey ever had a birthday there!)
The rest of my parties were just with my parents and grandparents, usually. Our apartment was (is, we still live here) very tiny. Just no room to accomodate a bunch of kids!

^ Those parties at the museum sound so cool! I would have loved those. ;D I also wonder if Stacey had a party there. That would have been fun to read about. ;D Was Jamie's party themed? I don't remember.

It had teddy bear decorations. I remember, I looked it up when I was seeing if it was another circus themed BSC birthday party. There were even tiny teddies for party favors. Also, sweetvalleygirl99, you and I have the same birthday.

^Wasn't the teddy bear party for the Arnold's birthday in #21? I remember Mallory commenting on how much better the gift bags were than any she got when she was younger.

^ I wouldn't mind a goody bag ;D and either teddy bears or koala earrings do sound cute. ;D Jamie's teddy bear party sounds cute, too. I'm kind of surprised that it wasn't a dinosaur themed one or superheros or something but Jamie doesn't seem like the type who is into stuff like that.

^ I wish I could still go trick or treating. You think anyone would give me candy if I didn't have a kid with me as an excuse? ;D

Koala earrings sound adorable! There is a chapter two in one book that has an animal theme (which animal each sitter would be), and Mary Anne says she would be a koala. I thought that was cute.

^ I remember that and really liked that chapter 2. Anyone remember which book it was in?

sI had more kids at my birthday parties when I was younger. As I got older, and we started going on outings for birthdays, I was only allowed to bring a few (2-4) friends along. But when we stayed at home and played games and stuff, more people were allowed to come over. I think the party with the magician (who happened to be my neighbour was the biggest party I've had, but probably because my parents didn't want to hire a magician for, like, five kids. I love this book, it's one of Mary Anne's best. I loved the fight, but it does seem to come up rather suddenly. I also felt bad for Dawn about Mary Anne using her to make Kristy jealous. For some reason, the part where Mary Anne watches her pedal away furiously on her bike always sticks out in my mind. Also love the magical sixteenth chapter. I didn't read the series in order, so I came to this one a bit later on. By that time I knew how things worked in the books (like the famous chapter 2s) so I was shocked when I came across chapter sixteen. It's sad, but I can actually remember that very moment quite clearly.
