it was snowing and the roads were a mess, but nothing was cancelled. not swimming, not karate and not madelyn's friend sarah's birthday party at build-a-bear. the roads were a mess, but slow and steady gets you there safely. it took us 45 minutes to get to the mall where it normally takes 15. and all of the kids still made it to the party too!
madelyn, the birthday girl sarah, and gwen - friends since kindergarten
this was our first build-a-bear birthday party. each child had a limit of $20 to pick their 'bear' and accessories. the cutest part was having all of the kids make a wish for the birthday girl on paper hearts that were then inserted in a larger fabric heart to go inside sarah's stuffed animal.
madelyn 'washing' her new dog
madelyn and her friend gwen are in the same class again this year. i learned today that their teacher calls them the "lyn twins." this came up because they both picked the same dog and outfit. they thought it was so funny that they made twins when their teacher calls them twins! they were telling everyone in the store that "mr. r calls us twins!" (leaving them quite confused because they don't really look alike and mr. r was not there.) thinking that this was both hysterical and sweet, i took a little video of them to send to their teacher. he loved it, by the way. gwen's dad and i were talking about what an impact he has made on the lives of the kids in his class this year.
the whole party and their finished products.
they offered the kids some free bows and madelyn took enough to make her dog look like a "cheerleader"!
after build-a-bear, the party made their way over to the food court for sbarro pizza, cupcakes and presents. the girls all had a wonderful time! love.
quite by accident, madelyn and i dressed as twins!
