Build a Bear & Ray and Jenn Party - 361/365

Today was an exciting day for Reagan! She went to Build a Bear for the first time! 

Nana, Pam, Reagan and I, went to lunch, then, wanted to do something fun with Reagan. Since there is not much to do, we decided to go to Build a Bear. Aunt Pam, loves to take Noah and Emma, so she thought Reagan would like it, too! 

We got in and Reagan immediately picked a pink, Disney Princess bear. I fell in love with a Panda and shamelessly tried to sway her, but she wasn't having it. LOL! We went over to the stuffing area where she was just a little apprehensive of the sound. After a few minutes, she was totally into it. The girl helping her stuff was so great with her. She had her do a bunch of stuff to the heart before placing it in the bear. She told her to rub it on her legs, so it will be strong like Ariel's legs. She had her kiss it, so it will always have good food like Tiana. She went through the whole list of princesses, it was great! 

 After, we got her all stuffed, Aunt Pam let her pick out some clothes for her. She got a great princess t-shirt, colored tutu, and awesome sequin shoes. She even got a magic wand! 

 Next, it was time to fill out the birth certificate. Reagan named her "Friendly." It was PRECIOUS! They got her all down in her box, that Reagan called a "castle!" She was SO INTO the whole process! When we were leaving, she insisted on carrying her, herself. She dragged her behind all through the mall! 

 We have a generous gift card we received, but haven't had a chance to use, so we'll have to go soon and make another! 

This evening, we were all heading to Raymond and Jennifer's for their annual Christmas Party. It's always such a fun gathering. They always have TONS of food and snacks. You certainly don't starve. One of the highlights, is hanging in Raymond's arcade. He has some awesome old school video games. We have fun playing down there. Jim rocks at the games, I suck! 

Before we left, we all went up to the loft to look at Jennifer's pictures from the Matchbox Twenty Cruise. We were HOWLING re-living all our fun times! What a hoot! 

While we were partying, Reagan spent the night at Grandma and Papa's. Her and Papa spent some time reading. Papa said he was shocked when he read one of her favorites, and she said the words before him! They had a fun time!
