A Beary Happy Celebration!

Due to the girls' pending Destination Imagination competition, they did not have a birthday celebration with their friends until this past Saturday. For some reason (maybe that they are girls?!) they had come up with the idea to go to the mall for their party. As a mom, I just didn't think that sounded like a lot of fun so we decided to do a Build-A-Party at the Build-a-Bear store instead. They did also have a chance to go to a few stores, though. The six girls had a lot of fun and shared a lot of laughs! Erin had been eyeing a bear at the store that can be plugged into an MP3 as it has speakers in it. Lucky for her, they had just marked it down 50% so that is what she chose. Complete with a surf board (they didn't have skiis!), swimsuit and an outfit.....and of course....a TEXTING PHONE!! Since she cannot have a cell phone....she will get her bear one! =-) Emily immediately found a cute puppy that she named FUDGE and dressed him up in a fisherman's outfit complete with a fishing pole.....and fish on it! Emily got a bear from Auntie Al about six years ago and since that one is a girl she needed a boy to go with it!! Each of the girls also got a keepsake autograph bear that they all signed. Before leaving the store, each of the six girls had to raise their right "paw" to take an oath to promise to love their new pal and take great care of them. To complete the party, Emily and Erin had asked for a cookie cake from the mall....and they were able to get it with a frosted peace sign. Each of the girls that came also got two cake pops decorated with purple and pink nerds candies on them. They just told me this morning that NOW they can say they are really NINE YEARS OLD! They had a blast but I think I may have had just as much fun watching six little girls have so much fun!
