The biggest challenge was keeping Jacob away from the girls, as he was desperate to be included in whatever they did. We finally ended up letting him go to sleep in our room (and then moved him to his room later).
Allison and her friend have been having lots of fun, though. They watched a Barbie movie, had the above-mentioned fashion show, decided to glue mosaic tiles to something in the dark (slightly messy), played "tricks" on Jacob, and sang songs late into the night. We did finally separate them to go to sleep (as Allison was super amped-up and finally fell asleep at 11:30, about an hour after her friend did) and then put them back in the same room later. I felt a little bad, but she otherwise would have kept the both of them up well past midnight.
This morning they have been playing and hiding from Jacob. In an odd way - exclusion is also inclusion - since the simple act of avoiding him makes him part of the fun.
