"Our Anna Lin" is 6!

We love "our Anna Lin" (what MC calls her) and had a great time at her Build a Bear Birthday Bash! We are so fortunate to have Miss Anna Lin and her wonderful family as our dear friends. AL's adoption spurred us to look at older children and brought us to our own Maggie Rose. At the party all the girls all got to make their own bears and accessorize. MR chose a pink one and surprise, surprise (not) MC's is blue. When it was time to pick the accessory every little girl there picked the sparkly tiara for her bear except MC who had to have a cool pair of rhinestone studded sunglasses. The girls played games, made a big birthday card and just generally had a great time with the birthday girl. The party ended with ice cream cones and a ride on the carousel!

Mary Clare gives her bear a heart.Impatient to play beauty shop, she starts fluffing before he has stuffing.

Margaret Rose gets her bear stuffed and names her Sleeping Beauty.

All stuffed now and making them beautiful.Look at those beautiful smiles!

Since MC can't write her name yet, when it came time for autograph bear I told her to just write her "M". She rolled her eyes and said I can write my name all by myself. And then she did. Who knew?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!
