Hope's 4th Birthday Party

The other day we took the kids to a friend's birthday party. Hope was turning 4. They had the party at the Teddy Paws Workshop, its a new store at our mall. A knock-off of Build-a Bear. It was really cute, I hadnt been in there yet. The prices on the outfits were a little outrageous, but i kindof expected that!

The party was really cute-- the party leader first played some games with the kids. Then everyone got to pick either a cheetah, bear, or puppy to make. Both my kids picked puppies-- most of the kids did actually! They then went thru the process of getting them stuffed, putting the little heart in, and then naming them and getting certificates. Then they got put in little boxes with balloons. After all the kids were finished with that Hope opened her presents. We got her a little red/pink purse with a ladybug, from Jack -n- Jills. Of course i had waited till last minute and got it at the mall right before the party, haha. She really racked up on some cute gifts.


After the party part we all headed to the foodcourt for cake and juice boxes. Hope's grandma had made the cake-- she has a bakery. It was sooo yummy! It was a Dora the Explorer cake. Even little Rachel tasted some :) When we left the party of course it was pouring rain, so we all got soaked, but its all good. When we got home the kids went straight to bed... they were exhausted. They sleep with their puppies every night now :)
