Build a WHAT???

Our great family friends Maddie and Kristin gave the boys Build-A-Bear gift cards for Christmas and it was just a few weeks ago that we were able to get out to use them! No bears were made by my boys though. Jack chose a T-Rex, Nicholas snatched up a zebra and our little Luke picked an elephant!

Luke LOVED the stuffing machine...he stood there and laughed and laughed...it was great to see!
After all our furry friends were stuffed, the boys took the time to brush and blow dry their new buddies.
Of course we created the birth certificates for them...Nicholas named his Batman clad zebra "Batman," Jack's T-Rex was "Spunky" and Luke's elephant is "Peanut."
Maddie did end up making a bear, a little blue one that she named "Swimmer" after her favorite guy Michael Phelps! Here everyone poses with their new stuffed animals!
And so ended our day at the mall!!! We did have a great time!!! Thanks Maddie and Kristin for a great gift and afternoon!!!
