Rapunzel. The Bear.

We have had kind of a crazy January but things are finally getting back to normal. I had the flu. Kennedy had an extended vacation to NM. My dad made one trip and my mom made two trips to Dallas. And I had surgery. Nothing major - just had a hernia repaired and the recovery has been pretty easy. But I was glad to have my mom here to help us with Kennedy.

One afternoon while Lainey was here, we took Kennedy over to Northpark to redeem her Build-a-Bear gift card. She got to pick out the bear and then push the foot pedal to fill it with stuffing. The last step is to pick out a heart, give it a kiss, make a wish and drop it inside the bear. The whole process was a little overwhelming but once the bear was sewn shut, Kennedy was definitely ready to pick out clothes and accessories. She picked a Rapunzel dress, a crown, a wand and named the bear...wait for it...Rapunzel.

The weather was nice enough to dine al fresco at the new Breadwinners in Northpark. Just as delicious as the other locations in Dallas! And Rapunzel has now become one of Kennedy's favorite sleeping friends.

Creating her new friend, Rapunzel.

Saturday fun at Northpark.
