Amada - 4 years old |
Birthdays are very important around our house. Since we have a large family, we want to make sure that each of our children have that "special day". Amada went shopping to pick out a new outfit. We decided not to have a large, organized birthday party this year. Instead I wanted to take her to Build-a-Bear Workshop with just the girls...mommy, grandma, Adriana (big sister), and Ashley.
None of us had ever been to Build-a Bear so we weren't quite sure what to expect. Amada needed some coaxing to pick out her bear. She is a little shy, especially in new situations, so I wasn't surprised. We also picked out a giggle sound for her bear. She helped with the stuffing.
{So precious!} |
They really have thought of everything. Next you need to give your bear a heart.
Rubbing the heart to keep the bear warm. |
Patting it to start the heart beating.
I think she had her rub the heart on her belly next, so the bear would never be hungry.
|
Kissing the heart so the bear will always feel loved. {Amada wanted big sister to kiss it first.} |
Then you place the heart inside the bear. |
Here is her completed bear! It's so perfect...her favorite colors are pink and purple. Next you name your bear and Amada chose the name "kitty".
Giving the bear a bath to get rid of any leftover fuzz. |
Lastly, typing her name for the bear's birth certificate. |
She also picked out an outfit {an Aurora princess dress}, a pair of pajamas, and a stroller for her bear. It is a little pricey for a stuffed animal, but it was a fun "memory making" time. And I am sure we will be back for more.
Then it was back home for dinner, cake, and presents. You'd never know it's almost Christmas though...
Sleeping Beauty DVD {Aurora is her favorite Princess although she has never seen the movie.} |
A dancing fairy musical jewelry box. |
Pretend sugar cookie baking set by Melissa & Doug. |
She also received a couple of new outfits from grandma; one with a very cute, pink, sparkly vest.
She requested a Cinderella cake. |
And now it's time for bed. Happy Birthday Princess Amada! {She is already talking about her "Five Birthday".}
How do you celebrate your children's birthday?
