First Build-A-Bear trip

We started a tradition you might say when Payton was born. A couple of weeks before we had her Mitch and I went to Build-A-Bear and made her first stuffed animal and got to put in it's heart and make a wish. We thought we would make this a tradition and do the same thing for the boys. We let Payton help pick the animals, name them, and help stuff them. In doing this of course hadn't thought it through and then also had to let her make her own animal to keep and play with. She wasn't real fond of the idea of making 2 animals and not getting to play with them. We let her help make one for each of the boys and then she got to pick one that she wanted also. We had to help guide her away from the pink peace bear for the boys. She did great and had a ton of fun. She also got to ride the merry-go-ride because when we should up to the mall the store wasn't open yet and she found this while we were waiting. It was a great morning and I am sure her brothers will appreciate all her help.(someday)
