A Beary Fun Day

Yesterday, we went to Sarah's 7th Birthday Party at Build-A-Bear Workshop.

The kids got to pick out an animal ... Emily picked out a bunny with soft pink ears. Then they picked a heart for their bear and went through a ritual where they rubbed it on their cheek, touched it to their ear, and kissed it before putting it inside their new friend.

Then they got to help put stuffing in their animal - they got to choose how soft or firm they wanted them.

Then the animals were sewed up with their stuffing and their heart inside.

Next, it was time to get their friends a bath. Emily was soooo cute brushing on her bunny. She really worked it over good, brushing her all over even her big pink ears. She knew exactly what to do.

Meet beautiful bunny "Sweetheart".

This is the whole group with their animals.

After everyone got their bears fixed up and dressed, we went out to the food court in the mall and had cupcakes and opened presents.

It was SUCH a fun party and Emily really likes her pretty bunny.
