The week after Ryan's wedding my mom had DOUBLE knee replacement surgery so I went home for 4 short days (some times I hate working) to watch Becca and visit my mom in the hospital. The day of my mom's surgery Becca was super sad and upset so the next morning I decided to take her to the wanna-be Build-a-Bear to make an animal for herself and one to give our mom. She cheered up right away.

Becca beyond excited that Build-a-Bear had Build-a-Doll!

Becca also decided that we needed to make a blanket to accompany our bear we just made to help Mom rest and get better. She picked out a beautiful Disney Princess fleece blanket kit and we made it later that day. Mom loved her new blanket and new friend Zoe (the bear - I should have taken a picture).

The next day my mom had arranged for a day of beauty for Becca and me. We got our hair cut and colored (me) and a few chosen dolls even got a trim and blow-dry. Becca was super good for Lisa (our hair stylist) and sat perfectly still while she got her hair cut.

Saturday (Valentine's Day...poor Danny) my Dad took us out to breakfast and then Becca and I went to Playhouse Disney!!! We saw Pooh, Tiger, Darby, the Little Einstein's, Manny (the handman?), and Mickey and Minnie. Becca loved the show and she even got a June doll and cotton candy (even though she hated it she still ate it because all the other kids were...so funny).

Sunday we had our Valentine's Day party at the hospital and had fun opening presents, eating some snacks and chatting. Becca was excited to finally see our mom and was a good helper/supervisor making sure my mom got all the attention she needed (or didn't need).

All in all it was a fun trip (sorta. Not so much for mom). We did lots of fun activities and no matter what the circumstance it is always fun to see my family.

# of random people Becca knew while out and about:

• Girl at Build-a-Bear - knew her from Target
• Another check out girl at Target
• Everyone at the hair salon
• Two waitresses at IHOP
