Build a Claire Bear

It's time for my annual birthday trip to Build a Bear with Aunt Sammi. It only took me a moment to choose the cool St. Patrick's Day bear. It was quite a long line, but once I got to the stuffer, I knew what to do. I stuffed that bear so it was fat and fluffy, like my pug Emmet :) I had to give her the Claire Bear hug test. She passed!

I gave her heart a big kiss before it was placed in her.

Once she was stuffed, it was time to give her a bath. Charlotte, a Build a Bear pro, showed me the proper technique.

After choosing a very fashionable green shamrock ensemble, it was time to get her dressed.

Next came the difficult task of giving her a name. After coming up with a few ideas (Green, Doggy, and Bear), I settled on Lucky.

Aunt Sammi took care of some things at the register, and then Lucky was all mine!!

Speaking of Lucky, it was Charlotte's lucky day, too! Nana bought her this adorable little kitty, which she immediately named Patches.

Here's Lucky inside her cute little house.

As cute as her house was, I decided I liked her better in my arms. Look, she's even a good dancer!!

Thank you so much for my awesome bear, Aunt Sammi. I love it!
