Happy Birthday Maddie!

Bekah's friend, Maddie, turned 5 last week and she had a Build-a-Bear party! I don't know if Bekah has ever been so excited about a birthday party. She got to make her own BAB and she was thrilled!! Brandon came with us to the party and helped Maddie's brother make his BAB. Brandon also was very excited about the party, and when we got home he pulled out his BAB (the one Uncle Clint and Aunt Cat got him when he was 2) and now he wants some new clothes for his bear!

Maddie was happy when Bekah arrived!

Here are the kids marching with their animal "skins" on their heads! I think all the girls chose the bunny rabbit, except Bekah who chose a puppy dog. (This girl really wants a dog for a pet! She asks all the time if we can get one!)

After you stuff your animal, put his heart in, and sew him up, you get to wash him!

Then you get to pick out clothes for your animal.

Bekah also got hairbows since her animal was a girl!

The whole crew!

They each got a "house" to carry their animal in, and they each got a birth certificate. When we got home I had to find Brandon's birth certificate too. He realized that his bear is now 7 years old!

Then they got a hot dog lunch at Costco!

And of course there was yummy cake!

Happy Birthday Maddie! We are thankful that Bekah has such a good friend!
