Build-A-Bear

My friend Courtney and I took Elaina and her daugther, Caitlin to Build A Bear last Wednesday night. Caitlin and Elaina are 10 days apart and Courtney and I went through our pregnancies together. Elaina and Caitlin don't get to see each other that often but when they do, they have a ball. We took them to eat at the mall and then to Build A Bear. We all had fun. It was Elaina's first visit to Build A Bear. She is still talking about it.

At dinner - I was holding one hand up to get their attention so they followed suit And again...

And after dinner, it was off to Build A Bear - here is Elaina with the the dog she wanted. So, she "Built -A-Dog" instead.

Elaina and Caitlin picking out their hearts....
Elaina kissing her heart before putting it in her bear, I mean dog.

What's with this face??

Posing with the dogs - they both got the same dog

Giving their dogs a bath. This was super fun for them.

And walking out to the car.... How precious is this?? They walked all the way through the mall like this....

So cute that I had to add one more....

Before leaving they had to play in the shopping carts that you rent at the mall that are like cars - they were parked in the stalls they are stored in. They could have played in these all night - we could have saved a bunch of money had we known that.

And when we got home, we posed for some more pics with her new dog - whom she named Fluffy, by the way.
