PHOTO JOURNAL for 12.28.04

For Ashlyn’s birthday, she got a Build-A-Bear gift card from her auntie Wil and uncle Tony. For months now, she’s been eagerly awaiting to redeem her gift…and yesterday she got the opportunity!

We spent the day at Valley Fair with Wil, Heather, and our nieces. To my surprise, the mall was just as crowded as pre-Christmas. After lunch, we headed toward Build-A-Bear. I lagged behind to talk to Aric on the phone…and by the time I joined them, I had missed the selection and stuffing ritual. Ashlyn excitedly showed off her new pink poodle who she lovingly named, “Pinky”. I wonder, would she have named the pooch “Brownie” if it were brown? hehehe

She never ceases to amaze me. I was marveled by her selection…she’s so much girlier than I thought. She topped that off by picking out a Disney’s Princess dress for her pup. HAHAHA!

I was blown away by the selection of clothing and accessories they have for the stuffed animals. It’s really insane. Aside from Disney and other designer labels, they have a line of clothing in which you can purchase an exact matching outfit for your kid at Limited Too! Wow.

Ashlyn is in love with her new creation. She held onto it tightly as she slept last night, and donned as similar oufit as Pinky this morning. TOO CUTE!!! Lucky girl’s still has enough credit on her gift card for another visit to Build-A-Bear. I was touched when she generously offered to make the next one for her sister. Awwwww! *sniff* What a sweetheart!
