Build A Bear Workshop

Yesterday was my friend Kara's 4th birthday. To celebrate we met for lunch then went to Build-A-Bear Workshop. It was awesome!!

Of course, I picked a pink leopard. Kara picked a lab puppy and Sarah got a bunny.

Here we are at the stuffing station. Make mine soft and cuddly please! We then added special hearts and gave them hugs.

Bath time for our new friends: Laurie the Leopard, Blackie the puppy and Thumper the bunny. I then dressed my leopard in a princess shirt and pink purse. Gee, am I a girlie girl or what!

Ahhh, Sarah loves her new bunny. We named him Thumper.

Then it was off to the computer to officially name my leopard Laurie and create birth certificates for them.

Phew, that was a lot of fun. Time to relax with a cool beverage. Thanks for inviting me to spend your birthday with you. Sarah and I had a lot of fun!

Spring is in the Air

It has been a busy week around here. We have been visiting friends for playdates, going to the zoo and birthday parties. Must be spring, mom wants us out of the house! Here are a few pictures - enjoy!

Yes, I still have adorable blue eyes. Here is the last shot of dad's beard. Mom finally nagged him enough that he caved and shaved.

Here is Claire in her party dress (thanks Kelli!) ready for Kara's birthday party.

Here I am in my dress - unfortunately it was a little chilly and I had to wear a sweater.

Swingtime!

We also went to the zoo last week. Mom actually let me out of the stroller! Of course, I didn't want to get back in. I'm big enough to walk now!

We went on a train ride. Mom thought it was so cute that I only wanted to hold Claire's hand on the train and when walking.

Well I have places to go, people to see and snacks to eat. Love Sarah.

Basketball and the backyard

Now that the weather is nice we have been spending more time in the backyard. Dad got us a new basketball net and ball to play with - princesses play basketball right?

Sarah and I hanging at our picnic table.

Watch me get a basket!

My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!

Basket #2

I also use powertools! Do you like our new fence at the back of the yard? Dad built it so that those mean dogs won't bother us.

Go Sarah Go!

Yeah, I'm a Princess....

Can you tell what my favorite pastime is? When Sarah is asleep I get to play with my jewels. I can put on my earrings and clips all by myself.




Don't I look beautiful? Mom, is Sarah asleep yet? Can I play with my jewels now?

Happy Birthday to me! Yahoo!!! It is finally my birthday and I had the most awesome Princess Party today. Mom and Dad made me a castle and we dressed up like prince and princesses. It was a lot of fun...I wish everyday was my birthday!

A few balloons to play with in my castle.

I dressed up as Snow White and Sarah was Merriweather, the good fairy from Sleeping Beauty. She was a fairy because mom couldn't find a princess dress short enough for my little munchkin of a sister.

Here is my princess castle cake. It was awesome. I had pink cake and chocolate ice cream!

Sarah the good fairy.

Princess Snow White.

One of my presents was a 'Barbie Beauty Shop' Bag. I love it! Kara and I did our hair and make-up, then I gave everyone makeovers. Perfume and lipstick are my favorite!

My friend McKenna dressed up as Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She even had real princess shoes! Don't we look like real princesses?

mmmm....cake.

Thanks for my princess castle mom and dad. I really, really appreciate all the hard work you put into it. Since you did work so hard, we are going to leave it up forever right??

Okay, thanks everyone for all the awesome birthday wishes, presents and love. I think being 3 is going to be great! Enjoy a little video of the happy birthday song below.

Happy Spring! We are busily preparing for my birthday party - only 9 more days! Around here we have been spending our time playing. My sister Sarah is getting bigger and she plays with me a lot more now.

Sarah likes to chase me around the house with Swiper the Fox. He is always trying to swipe my stuff!

Look at how long and curly Sarah's hair is getting! She has lots of teeth as well. Luckily she doesn't use them on people like I did.

Of course, when Sarah takes naps it means I can play with my jewels. I like to put on every piece at the same time!

Yeah, I'm cute and I know it!

Sarah is using a spoon and doing pretty well at feeding herself.

Well, we will try to keep ourselves occupied for the next week....is it my birthday yet??
