Valentines Day at Build-a-Bear

We decided it would be fun to take the girls to Nashville Saturday to eat at one of their favorites Red Robin and make a special trip to Build-a-Bear to build special V-Day stuffed animals. The girls were very excited to be able to go, and we had a wonderful day together! Made me miss living in Nashville. They both made the same pink valentine monkey, and princess outfits to go with. We aren't very creative on names so Ella named her's Tinkerbell to match her outfit and of course Addie's is Snow White. But, that is more creative than the names we gave the bears they made last year...Ella Bear & Addie Bear. Ella was super excited to have a new best friend for Ella Bear.
Here is Ella helping to breath life into her new V-Day monkey. Addie didn't want anything to do with that part, but she did pick out a heart for her monkey and put it inside it's belly.
Giving monkey an air bath & scrub down.
Monkey's birth certificates.

I told the girls I wanted to get a picture of them with their bears this morning to go on my blog. Well that made Ella super excited. A few pictures weren't enough for her. She said, "Okay Addie you sit like this, hold your bear like that, now Mommy this is going to be a perfect picture for your blog." So I ended up with about 50 pictures this morning of them and their bears...all poses Ella picked out.

What a fun Mom you are! And, what a neat idea for some Vday fun--I may steal that idea next year =).
