Sarah's real party

We finally officially celebrated Sarah's 2nd Birthday with a last minute trip to the mall and Build a Bear, mall food and ice cream too - classy I know! Sarah is finally over her cold and Mark was in town, so we went on a Friday night after work, which worked for the other families we wanted there as well!
Build a Bear was a bit overwhelming for the parents and for Sarah, well the whole trip was crazy, we ate pizza in the mall with pop music blaring, the kids rode the kiddie rides and were totally wound up by the time we got to Build a Bear. Sarah had a tantrum over having to give the worker an unstuffed toy and didn't want anything to do with the machine that stuffs the bears. Luckily her big brother took over for her! I should have taken a pic of her having a tantrum on the floor at her party - she is SO 2 years old!

Sarah being coaxed by Daddy to walk over to the noisy machine and give a stranger her chosen doggie to get stuffed - yeah not happening!
Her finished doggie, or as she has named it, "BINGO".
Giving Bingo his first bath.
The crazy crew!! I did not get 1 picture of all 6 of them looking at the camera - at least this one Sarah is looking in my direction!
Danica and Sarah shopping for accessories for their doggies!
Ice cream (EYESSHHHH CEEEEEEM)and her precious Wiggles balloon, which she has had to have in her hand everywhere she goes until it came off the ribbon and flew up onto the ceiling, totally traumatic for her - she's over it now, thank GOD!

One happy girl, a Wiggles balloon and a new doggie!
