Ariana's 3rd B-Day

We celebrated Ariana's Build-A Bear birthday party on Saturday.

The birthday girl hitting the piNata.

Stephen eating something while hitting the piNata.

Skipping cake to eat a treat from her goodie bag.

Stephen eating the frosting off his piece of the cookie cake.

Victoria doing what she does best, sleep. She was awake when

the party started and then midway through to eat.

Stephen was initially fascinated by the filling

moving around in the machine.

Waiting for their bear to be filled.

The kids got two hearts, one to put in their bear and one to

put in the birthday girl's bear. Stephen and Yasmine were

initially very interested in the the container full of hearts.

Stephen was so, interested in the hearts that he did

not notice his bear being built.

Getting hearts

Stephen later became interested in the filling part of the bear.

After their bear was build they got to blow and brush them

to remove any excess filling that was left.

This was Stephen's favorite part.

He brushed his bear's hair on the floor...

in the air...

and in the tub.

Since he picked up a paw brush he did not want to let it go.

Stephen dancing with the group with the paw brush still

at hand. He was not happy when we took it away.

The whole group with their bears. Okay not sure if you noticed,

but Stephen did not have his. I was just occupied in getting him

to sit up there and not fall that I forgot to give him his bear.

Smiling to Maddie and Yasmine.

Towards the end I realized he did not have his

bear and so I gave it to him and took this

picture. Look at those big brown eyes.

Look at the sweet bear I built ;)

"Okay, it has been a long day. Let's go home."

As soon as we got home Stephen put his bear

in Victoria's portable swing.
