Build-A-Bear

As a very special Christmas present, Aunt Cindy, Aunt Stacy and Lillian took the girls to Build-A-Bear to make their very own teddy bears. Gigi and Aunt Shellie came as well and we all had a wonderful time. Lillian, a seasoned pro, took very little time to find her perfect puppy. It took Lissie a long time to pick out the perfect bear and you can tell, Mommy had no say in what she chose. Any of you who have met Mac know that Mommy never allows anything black in the house:) Lissie just loved her black Teddy. She was a tad overwhelmed though as you can see in most of the shots!

Abby wasted no time in picking out her toffee colored teddy. All she wanted to do was go over to the computers though to name her:)
After picking out their bear forms, the girls all got to pick a sound to go into their bear or puppy. Since there were over 15 to choose from it took a long time to get this done.
After they picked out their sounds, it was time to stuff the cuddly friends. Lillian went first and then Lissie. After adding a little stuffing the girls were asked to cuddle their new baby to determine if it had the right cuddle factor. Lissie almost had a meltdown though when the lady wanted to take the bear back to finish sewing it up.

The noise from the fluffer made Abby very nervous. Here she is in her usual pose, hands over ears.

Lillian's favorite part of the experience was giving the new babies a bath.

Getting the bears dressed was lots of fun too although it took forever!!!

Here are the girls with their new creations. Lillian and Sparky the firedog, Abby and Princess, Lissie and Teddy (she pronounces it Deddy). Too cute!

Here is Lissie and Teddy.

After building, we all went to Noodles for lunch. As you can see the girls very much enjoyed themselves.

Thank you so much Aunt Stacy, Lillian and Aunt Cindy. We had a blast and the girls rarely go anywhere without their babies!!!
