Build a Bear fun

The lady is stuffing Abbie's dog.

Abbie is brushing her dog, Olivia.

Here's Sophie brushing her "Thin Mint" from Girl Scouts bear.

Sophie loves her new bear, "Sweet Mint".

Here's Sophie and Abbie with their new stuffed animals.

For Abbie's birthday, she received a gift card for Build a Bear.  We had never taken the girls before so we thought that they would have fun doing it.  I also got a deal where you could buy a voucher for $30 for only $15 so I had that too.  Abbie picked out this dog and then they put a heart inside it, etc.  Your child gets to print out a birth certificate.  They were pretty busy when we got there because there was a birthday party going on.  When we realized that Abbie wasn't going to use all of our vouchers, Sophie decided that she would like a Girl Scout "Thin Mints bear.  Abbie picked out a really cute Girl Scout themed outfit for her dog and some sunglasses.  Every dog needs sunglasses, right?  Just kidding.  Anyway, they had a fun time.  We were also able to get out a couple of times and enjoy this beautiful and rare, warm weather.  What a lovely day-especially after the freezing cold weather that we've had!
