How much fun is this??!!!

My longtime friend Denise was in town for a conference. She met us for lunch and definitely knows what girls like. She brought the girls lip glosses, toiletries, and a gift card to Build a Bear workshop.

That gift card was burning a hole in Grace's pocket. Annabel wasn't sure what it meant. She understood that it was something like money though.

We walked into Build a Bear and I said out loud, I wonder how I can explain this to someone who speaks Chinese. They actually had the explanation written in Chinese! Annabel read it and then shouted "Woo! Hoo!"

Grace knew the drill and immediately began to agonize over what animal she should pick. I think she worries about all the ones that get left behind.

Annabel wanted the largest dog, but Grace explained she would not have money for clothes, so she immediately went for the cheapest!

They both had such a great time. Annabel decided the best accessory for her dog was a carrier that would allow her to have her dog, like a baby, facing her. She treated it like a real baby.
