Holidays and fun activities

This year we decided to do something fun with the kids for a gift from Rick and I. Our kids have asked for a long time to go to Build a Bear, but we had always heard that it was really expensive so we have avoided it. We went to the mall to walk around and just for fun and Build a Bear had several animals for $10 a piece. I was worried about what that included and how much it would add up to be.

Once we got looking into it we decided that it would be a fun and memorable activity and gift for Christmas. We were AMAZED at the experience that Build a Bear created for these kids. We gave them a budget of $10 to pick out an outfit or accessories. They got to fill their dog, put a heart and sound inside and bathe their dogs. Then they got to dress them and create a birth certificate. We were in there for over an hour and the kids had a blast. The animals came home in their own boxes.

Since they were for Christmas the boys had to put them under the Christmas tree until Christmas. They were such good kids that we gave them to them on Christmas Eve. They were so excited.

Here are some fun pictures from Build a Bear:
