Landry's Birthday Party: Build A Bear

Once October started approaching Landry started having ideas about what kind of birthday party she wanted. It came down to 2: Sweet and Sassy or BuildABear. Once she learned that a Sweet and Sassy party would be girls only she decided to go with BAB. Landry's paraty was small yet very fun. I'm pretty sure the kids had a great time!
 
Once all of the kids arrived they sat down with Amy to talk about why they were there, learn some of the "rules" and talk about creating their animal. One of the rules was that they would have fun.

 
 
Each kid chose an animal they wanted. Once everyone made a selection it was time for stuffing. This is how they carried their animal to the stuffing station.

 
 
Eden, Kennedi, Peyton, Landry, Jake and Reed waiting to stuff their animal.

 
 
One part of bringing their animal to life was picking a heart to go inside, that's what's in their hand. You rub the heart against your side so that it's always with you, against your head so it's smart like you and against your bicep so it's strong like you. This part was really cute.

  
You rub the heart against your chin so that the animal could speak words of kindness. Jake and Reed rubbing their heart against their chin.

 
 
The birthday girl is paying attention so she knows what to do next.

  
Chase paid close attention too!

After all of the animal were brought to life it was time to give them a bath.

 
 
Scrub-a-dub-dub!

 
 
Once their animals were squeaky clean it was time to pick out their outfits and go to the front for a group picture. Left to right: Peyton, Eden, Landry, Kennedi, Jake, Chase and Reed. A small but fun group of friends!

 
After BAB everyone went to the food court for Chic-fil-A and cake.

I was so pleased at how her cake turned out. She was very set on having this kind cake. It was the perfect cake for the amount friends at the party. We had cupcakes for the adults.

 
 
Landry listening to us sing Happy Birthday to her.

 
 
She made a wish then blew out the candle!

 
 
What better way to end than with a ride on the carousel!
 
 
 Sunday we had a small family birthday party for Landry. It was so special having Erin and the boys, Skip and Tyler, Meme and Pops, Dustin and Danielle and Cooper here to celebrate Landry's 5th birthday with us! We missed everyone else that couldn't make it.
 
Happy Birthday Doodle, Daddy and Mommy love you super bunches!

We loved being there to celebrate Landry's 5th birthday! As you know, my boys are slightly obsessed with their Iron Man Baby Bear (as they called it)! What a fun party!

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to see you guys again in a few weeks!

Love all of you so much!

Hope all the kids had a great time at Landry's birthday celebration. Saw many funky Venues in NYC online the other day. An idea dropped in to my mind to have a kids show in these coming vacations. Will consult all my friends to have one with all their kids too. It would be fun and perfect source of entertainment for all.
