We headed to Branson on Sunday morning for a mini-vacation. I'm so glad that we were able to get away as a family of four! It's probably our last official vacation until next year, as i'll be too pregnant to travel this summer, and then we'll have a new baby!
We ended up getting to Branson around 1:30, and DJ's dad and stepmom met us there for the day. We had lunch and then walked around The Landings. G had saved her birthday money and she decided that she wanted to spend it at Build-A-Bear.
This was the first time that I've let G build-a-bear. I wanted to wait until she was old enough to really understand, and we have two that I had made in college, that she never plays with, so I wasn't sure if she would really appreciate the bear later on.... but, she loved the experience!
She chose a puppy with pink and red hearts. She was so excited that it even had a heart-shaped nose!
Next, she chose a sound for her puppy. She decided that the puppy should make a kissing sound.
Here's G with pops and Grandma Dee.... she's waiting on getting her puppy stuffed.
Filing her puppy with stuffing:
Giving her puppy a big squeeze!
She picked out its heart and gave it a kiss.
I remember making a build-a-bear, and they use to go through a whole routine with the heart, like giving it a kiss to make it full of love, rubbing the heart in your hands to make your bear warm, and putting the heart on your forehead to make the bear smart, etc..... and now, you just kiss it. Let me be honest, that I wish they would bring back the whole routine, even though it might make the wait a little longer.
G put the heart inside her puppy.
Then, we went and gave her puppy a bath.
We let G pick out her puppy's outfit, and she was determined it would be a princess outfit. At first, she picked out a Brave dress, but we guided her toward a pink dress with butterfly wings.
Then, we got her puppy dressed.
And, gave her puppy a name.... She named her Lovie Heart.
G was so excited to take her puppy home and she's played and slept with her all week!
She's getting a gift certificate to Build-a-bear in her Easter basket, so we'll go pick out another outfit!
