We made the trek to the nearest Build-a-bear for our little baby coming in a few weeks. We got to the mall a little early and waited for 45 minutes before ANY of the stores opened up. Bleh!

We went in and made our decision, the kids added a heart:
and went through a "ceremony":
then we stuffed and checked it:
washing it:
and went through the grueling process of finding clothes for this bear! We named her Vanilla Cream and were on our way...to Auntie Anne's! :) Livi and I have a long standing tradition that when we go to the mall, we get a pretzel. (I LOVE this tradition because I LOVE a good pretzel!)
We did a bit more shopping and off to Kohl's for the coming home outfit. Holy Moley that was also a huge feat. Those kids can't make a decision (together) to save their lives. Luke and I had final say..and then ended up buying a few more outfits. :) It HAS been 10 years since we have had a baby girl in the house and some of the fashions have changed...ok, QUITE a bit of change.
By the time we got home, I was beat. I sat in the recliner and didn't move for a few hours. It was a nice nap time and then Luke went to some Church meetings for Stake Conference. The kids and I faired pretty well and ate an entire pizza between us. We must have all been starving!
It was a great day and the kids kept telling us we were spoiling them...how? Not sure, but we'll take it!
