Build-a-Hello Kitty

For Christmas, Kennedy wanted a stuffed animal from Build-a-Bear Workshop. Since it's something she would have to pick out, herself, Santa couldn't bring it, so it was a mommy gift.

We went to redeem her gift card this morning.

Whoever thought of this idea was a genius. She got to pick out her own lifeless stuffed animal (sans the stuffing), choose a noise for it to make (like when you push their hand and they make a sound), pick out a little heart to put inside of it, and then the person who works there stuffed it and sewed it up for her.  Then she got to give it a "bath", dress it up, and create a birth certificate for it.

And she took it home in its very own box.

Presenting: The meowing Hello Kitty named Selena.

(I won a lot of brownie points for giving her this present. Take THAT, Santa.)

What a fun gift. The best gifts are activities - makes them more memorable. Kennedy looks like she is about to burst with happiness.

And she looks adorable in those skinny jeans.

We just took Delylah there two days ago. The people that work there are freakishly nice. Makes me want to beat them up.
