V turns 9

Our Vera-bean turned 9 years old on Thursday. She really wanted to go to Build-a-Bear for a dragon named Toothless (from How to Train Your Dragon), so that's what we did.

Toothless is on the left:

Lucky Mr. Omri managed to snag a furry friend too thanks to special "pay your age" deal. Here he's giving it the hug test:

Some sort of stuffed animal heart ceremony happening here:

These two are so cute:

And now for the traditional birthday visit to Pizza Ranch:

Converted to black-and-white because the colors were awful in there:

Back home for a cupcake:

And another stuffed animal?!?

This one is a squishmallow from Grandma Linda:

It definitely passed the hug test:

Omri gifted V a new LOL Doll:

She was excited and grateful:

Omri was so happy to have pleased the person he admires the most:

Including this photo for Omri's face:

Happy birthday to this sweet, inquisitive, goofy girl:
