Abby's birthday celebration continued today (her actual birthday). After dropping off Eli at school, Abby and I headed to the mall for a very special mommy/daughter date. Uncle Harold and Aunt Natalie sent Abby a gift card for Build-a-Bear, and she was very excited!
After choosing the animal she wanted to create (a cute brown puppy) Abby was guided through the adorable Build-a-Bear process... She was asked how squishy she wanted her pup, and the attendant had to take quite a bit of stuffing out to make the puppy squishy enough to meet Abby's approval! After Abby chose a little satin heart for her puppy she was asked to kiss it to fill it with love, rub it on her cheek to give her puppy laughter, jump so that her puppy could dance...
and then gently place her puppy's heart inside before it was sewn up.
The she took her little dog over to the (pretend) bathtub to get nice and clean...
After bath time Abby headed to the computer station to fill out the info for her puppy's birth certificate. This included giving her little friend a name; Abby thought "Cupcake" was appropriate for her birthday! Abby really like using the computer!
Then Abby picked out some clothes for Cupcake.
Introducing Abigail's new friend, Cupcake!
Abby was excited to take Cupcake home in her special box...
But not before we finished our date with a real birthday cupcake!
That evening we were treated to a wonderful birthday dinner by Great Grandma. Abby chose a local Italian restaurant because she likes noodles and this restaurant lets you color on the (paper-covered) tables! She very much enjoyed her birthday sundae, and Eli was grateful that she shared!
Finally, we headed home for Abby to open her family gifts and enjoy a birthday cinnamon roll (Great Grandma's specialty)!
