Last year when Mia and Noah were 4, Grammy wanted to take them to Build-A-Bear to make there own stuffed animal. I don't think I ever blogged those pictures (along with many, many others, haha!), but the kids had a great time. Mia picked the pinkest animal in there she could find, a dog she named Rainbow. Rainbow still sleeps with her each night and is one of her treasured animals.
Well, we figured that Cole and Claire were now old enough to enjoy the experience so we hit Build-A-Bear once again. Once again, it didn't disappoint! The kids were super-excited and Cole treasures his "Snowy" just like Mia treasures her "Rainbow." :) Here are some pictures from the day...
Cole right after we walked in the store. He was happy and therefore cooperative for pictures!
I love Cole's face here-he was just so thrilled!
Decisions, decisions....
His pick (please excuse the terribly overexposed picture-the lighting in that place is terrible!
Picking the sound to put in Snowy
Can you tell he's excited?
Claire picking out her sound
Claire loves the Chipmunks so she was excited to find the girl chipmunk
Cole and Claire
Cole and Mommy
Picking out the hearts to go in their animals
They had the kids rub their hearts all over themselves before they went in their animals' bodies
Putting the heart in
Claire's is stuffed!
Cole pressing the pedal to stuff his
Watching and waiting...
I love his reaction in the next series of pictures-he was so, so happy :)
The kids with their animals
Next they got to give them "air baths" and brush them
Last, they got to fill out the birth certificate for their animals. This is where we decided on the name "Snowy" (after going through a couple of other choices!)
Thanks Grammy!
The best Grammy ever!!!
