You're right!
Bird watching is a fun way to celebrate the end of the week.
I am so ready for the weekend.
Me too, and no homework. We're free as a bird!
Oh, that's a pretty one, looks very rare.
That's a pigeon.
What about...
Nope, another pigeon.
Guess I've got a lot to learn about our feathered friends.
You'll get there.
Mom and I have been bird watching here since I was a kid.
It's our favorite hangout.
You got that right.
Remember when we celebrated your 10th birthday party?
-Right over there? -Oh, yeah!
Good times.
Until a bird dive-bombed my cake.
And yes, it was a pigeon.
Oooh!
I love birthdays, and parties, and birthday parties and...
It's my mom's birthday!
Tomorrow!
I can't believe I forgot!
I've never missed her birthday.
Maybe you don't have to.
I'll see if I can do a switcharoo
with one of the pilots on tomorrow's LA route.
Really? That would be amazing!
Hey, Beverly. It's Simone.
OK, before you say no, hear me out.
OK.
Woah!
I got you girl.
OK, roger that.
Yeah, I understand.
Bye.
Pack your bags, girl, 'cause you're going home!
Wha'?
Thank you so much!
I can't wait to see my mom's face at her surprise party!
What surprise party?
The perfect one I'm gonna throw her.
But Barbie, we're not getting into LA
until late tomorrow morning.
That'll give us time to maybe throw a really good party,
but a perfect one?
Trust me. It'll be a piece of birthday cake.
♪
Happy birthday!
Hap, hap, hap, happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Did you wish for ponies?
One for me and one for you?
I wished for something even better.
For all my girls to be here with me today.
But that's just wishful thinking.
Hey, Mom, try the pancakes!
Mom!
Bar...
On second thought, Chelsea, you first.
Hm, needs some more creamer.
Oh!
What are you doing?
It's a new game called Spin the Birthday Girl!
Huh.
I've never heard of that game.
I'll get the creamer!
Uh, ok, thanks.
Now, I just need a little sugar.
Woah!
And the game ends with you sitting!
You win, yay!
Barbie!
The birthday girl would like a foot massage.
I can't believe you're all here!
But, what's with the hiding?
I want to surprise Mom by throwing her a birthday bash,
but she can't know I'm in town,
or it'll ruin everything.
Think you can get your mom out of the house for a while
so we can set stuff up?
No problem. She's having a birthday brunch with friends
-and should be leaving...
Oh, quick, hide!
Oh, it's just you, Honey.
I gotta go! Be good.
Woah! Ahh!
Oh, I miss you too!
OK.
That was a close call with Mom.
We've got to stay alert
if we want to keep her from finding out I'm home
and spoiling the surprise.
Well, I'm surprised you're home and I love it!
I mean, your mom, she'll love it.
Yes. We're all glad you're home, Barbie.
Especially on your mom's birthday, but...
Don't tell me you have plans.
You never have plans.
Do you have plans?
Just a quiet family dinner.
Your mom said she didn't want to make a big fuss this year.
Well, now that I'm here, we've got to do something big.
Then we better get started. We don't have much time.
Which is why I made a detailed to-do list on the plane.
That's OK, I've thrown a zillion parties
and it's about inspiration and creativity and...
Decorations, music, food, photography,
birthday cake, a card.
OK, so maybe we do need a teeny tiny plan.
It's Mom!
Brunch must have been canceled!
Hide!
♪
Hey!
Forgot my phone.
Hate when that happens.
The worst!
Don't look behind the couch!
Better hurry to brunch.
I'll... see you later.
-Phew!
OK, operation perfect surprise is still a go.
Party recruits, fall in line!
First up, photos.
Dad, you're in charge of the pics
and keeping Mom away from anything party related
until it's time.
Next, birthday card.
Stacie, work your design magic
and keep Mom away from anything party related
until it's time. Gotta have some tunes!
Skipper, you're on music duty,
and keeping Mom away from anything party related
until it's time.
What about me?
Chelsea, you can make a special birthday crown
for Mom to wear and--
I know.
Keep Mom away from anything party related until it's time.
That's right, you've got it.
All that's left are decorations and cake.
Reporting and ready for duty, Barbie.
You can help me pick out a cake from Mom's favorite bakery.
I'm your guy!
I mean, recruit.
The East Coast Roberts can pick up the decorations.
Great. Just think fun and festive.
There's a party store in the valley
that's got everything we need.
We're on it.
OK, recruits, you've got your orders.
Now go, go, go!
GPS is set for the party store.
At the next light, turn left.
Wait, according to the map on my phone,
there's an even faster way.
Turn right.
Rerouting. Turn left. Turn left.
Shh. Nobody asked you.
Ignore her.
Baby, I've learned the cold way
that when you ignore the flight instructions,
you end up in Siberia.
Let's let the woman do her job.
Hm. You've got a point.
There's a ton of freeways here,
the 1, 405, 101...
The oh, my goodness the list never ends.
Merge right onto freewa.
Whew! This is trickier than navigating the flight path into LaGuardia.
But this pilot's getting the hang of it.
Woah!
Caution. Traffic ahead.
We know!
Out of lemon cakes? How is that...
OK, then I'll...
Sold out of everything?
Thanks anyway.
So, no birthday cake?
Oh, we will have a birthday cake.
We'll just have to whip it up ourselves.
Hm. No lemons.
Oh! Kiwi.
We need to get some more light in here.
On it.
Nice.
Very... cave like.
-Help?
Huh, you know, they remodeled after I left for New York,
so I'm kind of at a loss here too.
Maybe...
How can you bake in the dark?
We can't, but apparently this new smart panel thinks we can.
Sure, it's easy if you were here when Mom installed it.
It's really not that complicated.
Oh, check this out.
♪
Good vibes.
It's like she's actually here!
One for me. One for Mom!
She's gonna feel like a queen.
This surprise party's gonna be perfect.
Get over there, Ken. I want to capture this.
Over where? By Barbie? OK.
-Is that a... cow?
♪
Oh, I think I may be responsible
for that car conga-line behind us.
We're never gonna make it
to the store and back in time to decorate.
Hey, maybe it'll be faster to order online for pickup.
Rafa! What's up?
Is something wrong? Did you confuse chiffon with taffeta again?
No.
Possibly, but that's not why I'm calling.
How could you and Malibu leave for LA without me?
We didn't mean to, it all happened so fast.
You know I'm dying to see Hollywood!
The movie studios, the Pacific Ocean,
the avocado toast museum.
Are you listening to me?
No, I mean yes.
I'm trying to, but I need to place an order
for party decorations and...
You are having a party without me too?
Look at us go.
We should bake together more often.
I'm free tomorrow.
Mom's back! She's in the driveway!
What? No!
We need more time!
OK, how do we keep her from seeing your sister?
What if...
Nope. I got nothing.
Ha, I didn't expect to see all of you standing right there.
Hi, Mom!
Have fun at brunch?
Was it delicious?
What did you have? Start from the beginning.
You're all acting strange.
-Again. -Strange?
No, we're just excited to see the birthday girl.
Well, if you don't mind, the birthday girl
would like to come inside the house.
You can't, because you have to go to the camper.
Yes, because we planned a spa day, for you...
...in the camper.
Hope it includes a foot massage.
Phew.
What's wrong?
Don't tell me your order didn't go through.
Oh, it went through,
but I must have pressed all the wrong buttons.
With all the cars, and traffic,
and Rafa's avocado toast museum.
How is that a thing?
OK, baby, breathe.
I'm gonna need help carrying everything to the car.
OK, birthday girl.
Let's get you started with a...
A facial!
Then that foot massage and a pedicure.
A can of oil and some window cleaner?
That's for the basic spa package.
You don't want that.
I'll go get the supplies for the deluxe package.
Hi, Barbie!
Bye, Barbie!
Oatmeal?
Was this left over from breakfast yesterday?
I want to get a picture of the birthday girl!
Not now, darling!
Can we try something else, a little more creamy?
I need something creamy.
Wait! I need that!
Whoa, whoa!
I don't know girls,
I've never had a strawberry frosting facial before.
All the celebrities are doing it.
You just relax and let the frosting do its magic.
And I'll go get something soothing, for your eyes.
Need something for Mom's eyes!
Well, we're out of cucumbers.
Oh, this'll work.
Pickles?
OK, girls.
I think that's all the relaxing your mom can take right now.
My eyes are stinging.
Are these pickles?
But, what about your pedicure?
A different color for each toe!
Girls, this has been lovely,
but what I need right now is a bath and a nap.
Ooh, still burns.
Skipper just texted.
Your Mom's coming in for a bath and a nap!
Oh, good.
She'll be out of the way while we finish setting up.
I'll go hide in my room.
Let me know when the coast is clear and--
No time! Hide!
We'll get your bath ready!
Thanks, girls.
Just let me get a glass of water first.
Margaret, you're going to the kitchen.
Ugh!
Uh, yes.
Last time I checked the water was in the kitchen.
George!
What are you doing?
I'm, I'm dancing with the birthday girl.
Oh, George.
♪
Don't worry, it's just us.
That sounds like Barbie's phone.
No, it's close but I think Barbie's ringtone
has more of a samba beat, more like
It's coming from the kitchen.
Here's your water, Mom!
Nice and cold.
From the puppy bowl.
Why is everyone shouting?
We were shouting? Didn't notice.
Let's get you to that hot bath.
Brooklyn, you won't believe...
You're back? How'd it go?
You said you wanted fun and festive.
OK, I may have accidentally made a few wrong selections
on the pick-up order.
Did you know that store has a strict no returns policy?
Something's burning!
Can I have a balloon?
You sure can, sweet-pea.
Mom's kiwi cake is kiwi charcoal.
Kiwi?
We're out of lemons.
Maybe we can fix it with frosting?
OK, maybe not.
Well, at least things can't get worse.
I thought you said it never rains in California?
And I thought I could pull off a surprise party.
No. This party is happening.
We've worked too hard to let this ruin Mom's surprise.
Am I sensing a brainstorm before the rainstorm?
You bet you are.
It's gonna take everything we've got to save this party.
Are you with me?
-Yes! -Shh!
Yes.
♪
OK, Chels', time to get Mom.
And remember, it's a surprise.
Remind me to never doubt your party planning skills again.
Your mom's definitely going to be surprised!
Hope so.
And don't worry. I will, like all the time.
We better hide!
Surprise!
Wow, this is really surprising!
Double surprise!
Barbie?!
Brooklyn, Simone! Oh, this is a surprise.
Thanks for bringing my girl home.
Happy to.
We'd do anything for Barbie.
Mom, I wanted to throw you the perfect surprise party
but things kind of kept going wrong.
So, here we are.
Inflatable clown and all.
Oh, honey, it is perfect.
My family and friends are here, you're here.
That makes this the most perfect party ever.
And I kind of like the clown.
Hey, everyone!
Let's squeeze together for a birthday photo.
Oh, watch the... No, no, no, no!
-No! Not the cord. -Look out!
Ooooh!!!
