Build-a-Bear

Unless you're Bill Gates, you better have deep pockets or an exceedingly generous SIL who gives your child a gift card for Christmas...to...(drum roll please)...Build-a-Bear!!

These people knew what they were doing when they crafted this joint (money-pit) because it sucks you in, chews you up and spits you out (OK, maybe a little over dramatized).

I even found myself saying a $10 outfit (for a teddy bear!!) was a "good deal." And, Joel added that these teddy bears have more expensive undies than he does. It's true.

Anyhow, Emma had a grand time and it wasn't very busy so I suppose that was a consolation.

The overwhelming decision. What to choose, what to choose...

And the winner is THIS soft, tan, teddy bear

Getting a heart and stuffed to squeezable perfection

Teddy gets a "bath" post heart surgery/stuffing

Emma choosing a pink, princess outfit. Surprise, surprise.

Elizabeth the bear is now named and registered!

Sam was SO patient through it all

The finished product packaged to take home

We've done one...it's shocking the cost of it all, and I just got a coupon for $5 off for a "birthday bear" for Maren...NOT bloody likely to happen!
