We're Building Bears...and Owls...






One of Grandma Vicki's Christmas gifts to Jasper and Noah was a trip to the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Jordan Creek Mall. Jasper decided he wanted to build a bear, which he called Teddy. Noah chose an owl, which he called Turner, named after the fact that the owl's head turns around - very clever! Noah had done this before, so he showed Jasper the ropes. They picked their animal of choice, watched as the Build-A-Bear crew stuffed them until just the right "fluffines," took a red heart, kissed it, rubbed it in their hands, and made a wish and placed it in their newly adopted animal, washed it off, then made a birth certificate. And the trip was complete with Jasper picking out a firefighter costume and Noah, a Woody costume.

We had a fun time and Teddy and Turner are sure to be great pals!

*This was a trip with cousin Noah on Saturday afternoon. Friday night/Saturday morning Cousin Sydney spent the night with us and we went to Breakfast with Santa - those pictures will be posted soon - it was a great cousin's weekend! Jasper was saying 'I love my cousins' by the time the weekend was over.
