And a new best friend is made.

Lots of great pictures came out of Grandad's wagon out in front of their house. I will edit and bombard the blog with my favorites of Brooke and this rustic wonder later in the week. This morning, well one of my fav's with Brooke and my Dad.......

One of my fav's with Brooke and my wonderful Momma....notice she is INSIDE safely away from the lizards.....

NOW, on to the title of the blog today.....Build A Bear was advertising this awesome deal on TV. Originally it was going to be a date night thing with Brooke and her Daddy....until I realized Lubbock didn't have a store, but of course Albuquerque does! Granny and Grandad gladly obliged, drove all over the big City to get to the ONE mall that had this store.

We spent the next 30 minutes or so watching Brooke act as though she was in Disney World. She carefully went through every single option for her new animal friend, and I do mean every one. She picked up and checked them all out. She chose a cute pink/orange/purple tie dyed bear. Now on to help make it! She was given the choice of 'soft and cuddly' or 'big and strong' and she chose big and strong.....which meant lots of stuffing. Here she is pushing the peddle to fill up her new friend.

Now on to the heart. This was so cute, I wish now I had taken a video of her doing all of the motions the lady told her. She warmed the heart up, so her bear will always keep her warm. Rubbed the heart on her hip, so her bear will always be cool and hip. Held the heart to her ear, so her bear will always hear her secrets.

Held the heart to her cheek, so her bear will always be chic and cool. Kissed the heart, so her bear will be full of love. Held it tightly, closed her eyes and made a wish so her bear will help make all her dreams come true. Spun around, jumped in the air so her bear will always be ready to play.

Friends and Family meet the new addition to our family, "Martha." Yes, she picked out the name, the outfit and shoes she is wearing and now carries her EVERYWHERE with her. Martha has officially done the impossible.....replaced her beat up, dirty looking baby doll named Lucy!

I mentioned that she might get more clothes for Martha for Christmas if she's nice. This morning it sunk in and she's telling me Martha needs to be Ariel next, and yes of course they have Ariel outfits for the bears.....what a child's dream!

Up next, first day of preschool pictures. For those of you who don't know yet, she LOVED it!
