Build A Bear

While Chloe and I were hanging out, while Cambelle napped, I saw a commercial for Build-A-Bear's new stuffed animals for the holidays and I thought it would be fun to take the girls and scope out their new Build-A-Bear friends. Plus, I wasn't in the mood to cook (shocker), so Jeff and I decided to take the girls to the mall for Chick-Fil-A and then head over to BAB.

*BAB = Build A Bear

I totally thought they'd be interested in either Frosty, Hal the Moose, or Holly the Moose. I mean, they are stinking cute and what better way to get into the holiday spirit? That was one of the reasons for going, to get a fun Christmas stuffed animal... but the girls had their minds set on other animals and how could we say no?

So, Cambelle's new friend is a stuffed dog - no name yet.

Jeff helped Cambelle give her dog a bath before taking him home.

And, Chloe's new friend is a monkey... which is totally her personality, so it's funny she picked him out. Chloe thinks BAB is like the pediatrician.... she immediately remembered where we were once she walked in. She started to cling to me and pointing at the "stuffer machine," saying NO - almost like what she does when the pediatrician walks in the room.

Poor girl, she's deathly afraid of when the stuffer machine goes on. The nice lady even asked Chloe to kiss her heart and Chloe refused. Cambelle, on the other hand, did everything the lady asked... jump up and down three times, put the heart on your heart, your ears, your mouth, your nose, and your cheek and spin around once and finally, kiss you heart one last time before putting it into her doggy.

Then, right before we left we had to brush Mr. Doggy off and make sure he was fluff free...

The girls had a great time and it's always fun to do something with them that we don't do that often.. I mean, we don't need any more stuffed animals around here, but Mr. Monkey and Mr. Doggy fit perfectly into our household.

Side note: Cambelle wouldn't look at Santa when we walked by him at the mall. Odd, isn't it? One minute she sits on his lap and is all about him and the next she won't even look at him, just one glance his way.
