For Payton's 7th Birthday she told us that she wanted us to take her to Build-a-Bear! We thought this was a great idea...and so did Nolan! He loved his first experience there and really wanted to take his cousin!
Of course we had to talk to him about how he would not be making his own animal and how this was Payton's special treat. And he did awesome. He waited patiently and watched Payton and helped her make her stuffed animal and not once asked for his own! Although, he did plan what he will make the next time he gets to go...a wiener dog in a hot dog costume! Too funny!
Here are some fun photos from our morning together...
Picking out just the right animal! It didn't take her long to know what she wanted! Unlike my sweet eldest son who took 30 minutes to pick out 1 Croc's jibbit!
Picking out her kittie's heart with love!
Pushing the pedal and fluffing up her cat!
The boys watching the action!
Rubbing kittie's heart on her nose so that it "NOSE" she loves her!
Getting stitched up!
Nolan helping Payton give her new cat a bath!
Making a birth certificate for her Siamese Cat and giving it a name!
Aren't these guys just the cutest?!
Payton proudly showing off her new friend: Fluffy! She wanted to name her the same name Nolan named his Build-a-Bear puppy. Mark tried really hard to get her to choose a more creative name like: Turquoise (the color of it's eyes) or Cookies 'n Cream (like it's fur). And Nolan even came up with the name, "Lovey". But I told them that it was PAYTON'S animal, so it was PAYTON'S choice...so "Fluffy" it was! She also got this cute pink carrier that you can wear in the front or on your back, sort of like a Baby Bjorn!
We took some cute pictures afterwards with her and her Build-a-Bear box and with our McDonald's smoothies, but my computer went wacky when I was uploading them and somehow they ended up getting deleted from my camera and weren't on my computer when it recovered! SAD!
But anyways, we had a fun morning together and we loved getting to spend time with our only and not-so-little anymore niece! She was so sweet, and looked beautiful, and we are amazed at the smart and talented young girl she has become!
We love you P.R.! Happy 7th!

CUTE! Payton is looking so grown up! What a fun, special thing to do just for her!
Next time you are home for Christmas, it will be Heath's turn for Build a Bear!
Not sure why I never commented on this one, but thanks so much for taking Payton to Build-A-Bear. She loved the one-on-four attention :), and Fluffy has slept in her bed every night since she was "born"!
