Build-A-Bear with Preston!

A couple weeks ago when we took Alyssa to Build-A-Bear for her birthday, the other kids said they wanted to do it too. So, when we started talking about the different things we were going to do for his birthday, he made sure not to let us forget that.

He wanted the turtle. He didn't even look around again, he just marched straight for it, he had already made up his mind.

Here he is getting stuffed.

Sewn up!

Grabbing the camoflauge clothes he had already decided on.

And getting the Birth Certificate.

Meet MEAN GREEN! That trip was MUCH faster than the previous time. Ha Ha

Happy Birthday Bud!

Build-A-Bear!

This past weekend we headed up North to begin some birthday festivities for Alyssa who is turning 6!! We decided to surprise her this year and take her to Build-A-Bear. I'm sure most of you have been there, but we never had. It was all a good time, and in the next few weeks and month the other 2 have decided they want to go there as well! It was a big hit!

Here she is with the Hannah Montana bear she picked out. Absolutely refused every other single one in the whole place. Oh, and don't mind her black eye. She was running last night and plowed right into grandma's couch. Great present for your birthday huh, poor thing!


I told her, "Look at ALL the other choices." Nope, didn't work.


Stuffing the bear!

Giving it a bath!

Getting her dressed!

Getting her birth certificate.

It was the highlight of her day! It just dawned on me now, that we didn't even get a final product picture. I will have to get that and add it later.
