My daughter is turning 5 years old in four months. My husband and I have always thrown a birthday party for her. I'd like it to be different this time. What do you suggest? Thank you.

You can take her friends and her to a kid's movie. All of them going out together will be an altogether cherished experience for them. Or you can go out for a picnic and invite her friends also. I mean anything that the kids is doing for the first time or they don't do often will make her quite happy and an experience of its kind too.
