Build A Bear

Nana and Papa's birthday gift to McKenna was letting her "build a bear." So we went last night with Nana and Aunt Marcela to Build A Bear at The Falls (daddy was on a boat "lobstering" all night). McKenna was a bit tired and grumpy because it was her bed time, but she had fun.
She chose her bear. We knew she loved it when she held it up to her nose like she does with her "ginkie."

Then she stuffed her bear (with the help of big sister). The lady at the stuffing station was a little gruff and loud, so McKenna wasn't sure what to think of her. But Kourtney lead the way.

Then she washed her (this was her favorite part)

And went back for more washing...

Then she got distracted by some funny stuff. She tried her hardest to sit in the little bear seat.

And drive the little bear car.

But then she dressed her in a fairy outfit. Then we kept asking her what the bear's name was. She kept saying "a bear." So I thought that sounded pretty close to Abby. Then I thought of the new character on Sesame street named Abby Cadabby. So that is what we named her.

Here is a picture of Abby Cadabby

and Abby Johnson

Thanks Papa and Nana!
