Build-A-Bear

Nana has made it a tradition to take the grand kids to Build-A-Bear for their 3rd birthday.  Actually, Madelyn went at age 2 but for some reason she seemed older back then.  Nana decided to take Ellie for her birthday outing yesterday afternoon and was nice enough to invite Madelyn and I along for the fun.  We started off our afternoon with a delicious lunch at Nordstom Cafe and then headed over to Build-A-Bear.  The girls loved picking out their colorful bears, what they want the bear to say, inserting the heart, washing their bear and selecting the perfect outfit.  Ellie liked pretty much everything so had a hard time making a decision.  Madelyn, on the other hand, knew exactly what she wanted and was very into the entire process.  There is a huge difference between a 3-year old and 5-year old at Build-A-Bear!  Ellie's bear was dressed as a fairy with pink sparkle shoes so she named her bear "Fairy".  Madelyn's bunny was dressed up for Easter with pink high heeled shoes and named her bunny "Cindy".  It was a really fun afternoon celebrating Ellie's birthday.  Thank you so much Nana!

Ellie was jumping and doing her little shoulder dance when they were stuffing her bear.  She was SO excited!

The girls worked on their bears for a very long time!
