Build A Bear

My mom sent the girls gift cards to Build A Bear for Christmas and we saved them for when she came out to visit. I was almost as excited as Ballerina. Ballerina knew ahead of time that she wanted a PANDA bear and that was the ONLY bear she was interested in.Sweetie just wanted 'a lot of them.' She kept pulling the sample ones off the shelf and carrying them around. She seemed to favor the colorful ones, so Handsome Husband helped her whittle it down to this pink one. I had to help stuff it because the sound scared Sweetie.See? Scared.She liked putting the heart in the bear, though.Handsome Husband seemed to like helping the girls pick out clothes for their bears.Sweetie was overwhelmed with all the things, but she found something she wanted.
The shoes. She said they were "so boootiful."Ballerina LOVED her bear. She got a sound thing in it's paw that says, "I love you, I love you."

Ballerina was excited about these underwear for her bear. She named the bear Allit, but then she changed the name the Skippy when she got home because she kept forgetting the first name.

Sweetie named her bear "Little Girl." She liked the idea of giving her bear a bath, but did NOT like it when Ballerina turned the loud air on.

Ballerina ended up changing her bear's costume when she found a ballet costume. Sweetie picked out her bear's white dress and she was pretty firm about that decision.
Sweetie was excited about her bear's cell phone. Both girls got one. It beeps and everything.Ballerina chose a little chair for her bear and Sweetie got a pink pet bed for hers.

We had a great time at the mall with Grandma J. Grandma was manning the camera so we don't have a picture with her there.

Afterwards we went to see the Princess and the Frog at a McMenamins theater. The girls were pretty excited about that. I think it was the first time Sweetie had been to a theater and it's been over a year for Ballerina. It was a lot cuter than I expected.
