Quinlan's Birthday - Part 1 of 3

 
We went to Build A Bear to begin Quinlan's 10th birthday celebration.  Reilly, Meg Wade, Quinlan and Max all got the chance to pick out and build an animal. 


 After they are stuffed but before they are closed up, each child gets to pick out a heart to be put into their bear/animal.  Before it goes into the stuffed being the child has to kiss the heart (to fill it with love), jump up and down with the heart (to fill it with energy and enthusiasm) and do a bunch of other things to provide good attributes for their project.

 Then the animals got a bath (not really).

 Quinlan and Meg pick out clothes from a lot of options.  Sequins, denim, fur, shoes and boots and uniforms were some of the choices.

 Then the kids had to name their creations and provide information for a "birth certificate"  

 When we were all done Quinlan got to "ring the bell" to signal that it was her birthday.  Meredith was our "helper" and she was great!

 Here are the kids with their creatures and their official "Build A Bear Anniversary Birthday" hats.  

 We visited the Lego store at Eastview Mall and the nice manager gave Quinlan a free Lego man.  

Then we went to Champs for lunch.  Here are Quinlan and Meg awaiting their meals.  Quinlan enjoyed her "Shirley Temple" and a burger.
