The Happy's Playdate

I received free products in order to host the Cepia, LLC sponsored MommyParty.

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to The Happy's, a set of super fun and super cute interactive pets, the latest and greatest toy from Cepia, LLC.

We have had the opportunity to get to know The Happy's for the past couple of weeks and here are some things we love (verbatim from my preschooler):

• I like when the puppies and kitty spin around.
• I like when they come to me and I cuddle with them.
• I like when they lean back.
• I like when they get the ball.
• I like to hear the sounds when they turn off and turn on.
• I like when they follow the bone.
• Other kids should get The Happy's so then they can invite me!

Needless to say, we were so excited when MomSelect and Cepia, LLC asked us to host a playdate so we could have the chance to introduce some of our friends to The Happy's in person!  They sent us Mittens, Chance, Sport, and Bentley, their training treats, a Chase & Play Ball, some craft materials, and some Werther's Popcorn (which I didn't think I would like but am now addicted to!!!).

So, we invited some friends...

Pulled together some pet themed headbands…

some pet themed snacks…

some pet themed crafts…

popped some batteries in The Happy's…

and played!

We had so much fun with The Happy's!  Everyone loved experiencing how The Happy's interact with each other, their training treats, and us!  We watched them beg, pounce, wiggle, and chase their tails.  We chased them and they chased us and we all chased each other all around the house.  We had a race to see which of The Happy's could find the Chase & Play Ball first (that's what's happening in the photo above).  We cuddled them, loved on them, and we mommies noted how nice it was to add a pet to the family that doesn't need to be fed or let out to potty!

The Happy's are so interactive, unpredictable, and totally sweet.  It's easy, even as a grownup, to forget that these little cutie pies aren't real!  I find myself petting them, calling them by name, looking in their eyes, and talking to them in that high pitched voice you use to talk to babies and pets… and then I remember they are in fact toys and maybe I need to get a grip!  But maybe not, because it's healthy for grown ups to have fun too!

The Happy's hit store shelves at the beginning of April and you can find them at Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, and Justice.  We can't wait to add some more accessories and pets to our collection.  We gave some of The Happy's that came in our kit away to our friends so we can't wait to plan another playdate to get them all back together again… and I wouldn't be surprised if more have joined the crowd by that point!  If you're looking to add a new friend to your family, or are looking for a great gift for someone else, consider these cute and cuddly pals.  They really are sweet!
