so a tradition in our family is at one of the kids first few birthdays we take them to the build a bear shop at downtown disney and let them choose a bear for them to cuddle and get them through those rough times... teething, night nights, etc...
addie chose "angelina" a kitty which looks like our grey cat "frankie" and is about her favorite thing in the world. at this point once you pick the animal, they then stuff it with cotton and you get to put some hearts inside.
all of the kids picked a heart and put them into angelina. addie couldn't contain herself, she was going absolutely bananas during this whole ordeal.
they then hand her the kitty before they do the final stitching for her to snuggle for a minute and then had the nerve to ask for it back. why give the kid the cat if they aren't finished yet? look at addie's face, she was so sad that they took angelina back. 
after a round of tug-a-war, they finally gave her back to addie and let her give her new kitty a bath and combed her hair
then while everyone was shopping for an outfit, addie had some lunch
now she is back with angelina and pretty much can't take a nap without her. that was a fun day.

I LOVE THIS! we did a build a bear for each girl at age 1.. Shea has Lola that is looking very loved (tattered). Ava has Baby nanna who is a few years younger than Lola (looks new). I love this idea of "making" your own best friend. I love Addies kitty she picked very well!
That did look so fun! The pictures were perfect! So much fun to see the excitement in kids eyes!
