Welcome Vanilla Jean, Niki, Gurvey Giever & Firefighterbear!

Thank you Brendan, Ally & Skyler! We LOVE our new Build a Bears. Here's how it went down. Bennon decided first which animal he wanted and handed the bear over to be stuffed.
All the kids looked and thought hard to choose just the right animal.
Fletcher with his floppy unstuffed dog waiting patiently.
Bennon making a wish on his heart before it goes in.
Rubbing the little cloth heart to warm it up before putting it inside.
Brighton and Fletcher amazed by the stuffing machine.
All the boys watching as Ellis dresses his bear in fire fighter clothes.
Tessa helping Brighton type up her birth certificate.
Ben chose video gaming pajamas for his bear.
Bennon is showing his bear how he looks in the dressing room mirror.
Brighton chose pink pajamas for her bear.
The lovely finished products. Brighton with Vanilla Jean, Bennon with Gurvey Giever, Fletcher wtih Niki and Ellis with (say it as one word really fast) Firefighterbear.
Thank you Fletchers. They had SO MUCH fun making their build a bears. We went on F & B's birthday as a special family fun trip and they just loved all of it! I think this was definitely their favorite Christmas present. The bears now go with us everywhere. Ellis has a spot on the armrest next to his car seat that he calls FFBear's car seat. We hope you get to come out and meet the 4 newest members of the family soon. We love you.
Merry Christmas!
PS We were so excited to get out the door we forgot the real camera but the Iphone came to the rescue. They're not super quality but we wanted you to see the awesome experience as it happened.

Tessa: Thanks for your kind words over at The Daily Grapefruit. My intent was just to get people to see her great photography and blogging... both of which you also do exceedingly well. Merry Christmas dear friends.
