Build a Bear

 Santa knew that the princess' have wanted to go to Build a Bear for as long as he could remember.  So when a groupon (a deep discounted coupon that you purchase. This one was a $20 gift certificate for $10. ) came across his computer screen he jumped on it.  He gave it to them on Christmas morning.

When we got there they both got to choose out whichever one they wanted.  They both made a great choice.

 You start by filling it with lots of love, personality and hugs. (while the worker fills it with fluff)

 Then you choose a heart and jump up and down and in circles filling it with joy.  (great action shot of Princess E)

 (another great action shot of Princess M sharing the love)

 Then it gets sewn up and you go over to the bathing/brushing area. (it blows air to get all the excess fluff off)  The girls took this step very seriously.

 Then you can choose clothes, they have hundreds to choose from, and get your new friend dressed.

 Meet the newest members in our family, Snowbell and Princess.   (and just to toot my own horn, after the groupon coupons, and a few others from a friend I only spent $15. :)
