In traditional Barrios style we arrived a few minutes late. We didn’t stress about it too much though because almost everyone else was running late too and it was Marielle’s party so we figured they couldn’t start with out her. The Build-A-Bear party was a lot of fun, even in spite of the Build-A-Bear employee who kept checking with us every thirty seconds to see if all the children were there yet. Seriously, do the Build-A-Bear employees get paid by the number of children they push through the store?
Anyway, I thought it was cute to see all the kids pick out their bears and participate in the “building” process. Marielle got a black bear,
Alex got a dog that he named Gus, Colin got a black bear, Ethan got a Koala Bear, and Isabelle got a pink bear. After they picked their bears they moved to the stuffing machine where they each got two hearts for the bears. One heart each of the kids kissed, made a wish with, and then gave it to Marielle to put in her bear. So Marielle’s bear has six hearts, which I thought was pretty cool. The kids’ least favorite part of the process was the stuffing machine. It was loud and I don’t think the kids were impressed that to stuff your bear you had to stab it in the back, arms, legs, and head with a cylinder that pushed stuffing into it.
After stuffing the kids groomed the bears and then got to pick out an outfit. I was
sure that Marielle was going to pick out a princess outfit for her bear, but when we asked Marielle what she wanted she said “Spiderman!” I asked her if she wanted the Spiderman pajamas for the bear or the costume, she said she wanted the costume. Marc and I thought it was hilarious that out of all the outfits she had to choose from she picked the Spiderman costume. In hindsight I do find it fitting that she choose a superhero outfit for her bear since he has six hearts. You’ve got to think that someone with six hearts could do some pretty impressive things.
After Build-A-Bear we went to California Pizza Kitchen for some pizza and cupcakes. It was nice to get together with such a great group of parents and kids and just talk over some pizza and cupcakes. Marielle got some pretty fun gifts, puzzles, dress-up outfits, a book, and some games. All in all it was a fun day and we are glad that Marielle had some great people to share it with.
The bear theme was continued over to cupcakes and a cake. Marielle was uber-excited to see Lola on her cake as well.

Looks like fun! Great job on the cakes, they're really cute!
The best part about the spider man costume is when we put the mask on her bear and Marielle said, " I want my bear back," hence the long face in the picture. We had a fun time, thanks.
