BUILD-A-BEAR DAY

Today, my friend Sara along with her kids - Lauren, Ben & Eli - introduced Brooklyn, Alex and myself to Build-a-Bear Workshop. What the experience this is! I'm sure the rest of the world has been in one of these stores but this was our first time. For those two other people that have not entered the world of "BABW"...you go in and pick out your bear - which there is only 152 different options (maybe a slight exaggeration). Once the bear is chosen...a lady helps "stuff" the bear. Brooklyn and Alex each took turns stepping on the pedal that causes the "fluff" to fill into their bear. A little heart is picked, kissed and placed inside before being closed up. Then off to the bathing area... Alex loved this part. Stepping on a peddle, water noise starts and you scrub your bear clean with a little scrub brush to get it ready to dress. Her bear is VERY, VERY clean! Once that was done...it was off for Brooklyn's favorite part. Picking out the clothes and accessories. You will all be shocked to learn that Brooklyn picked a pink, Sleeping Beauty gown for her bear to wear...along with a crown, a pink bow for each ear, glass slipper shoes, a pink purse and white satin undergarments! Seriously!!! And, Alex went with the pink Cubs baseball hat, white and pink Cubs t-shirt and pink shorts along with Skechers sneakers.
The girls had so much fun and were so proud to show Daddy their new little buddies...which they are both snuggling with right now. Thank you for great day, Sara. The girls LOVE their birthday present!!!
