A Trip to Build-A-Bear



For Christmas, Nana and Pa had gotten JP a gift card for Build-a-Bear Workshop. We had never taken him over the years and he was so excited to go. Nana and I took him out for a "special day" while she was here.

JP checked out all the bears and then decided to pick one of the least expensive ones so he wouldn't spend all his money at once (made his mother proud!) He was so excited as he went through the building & adopting process. He named him Belldy. Since he got him as a Christmas present, I think he was thinking Christmas bells and came up with Belldy. At the end, he was able to pick out 3 outfits. He choose a Knight in Shining Armor, a Football and a Karate outfit. After the store we headed over to The Cherry Cricket, a fun place to get a burger. While we were waiting outside to be called, JP started playing on some icy snow. The bear stayed clean for about 30 minutes and of course he was wearing his white Karate uniform. Oh well, such is a 6-yr-old boy. Welcome to the family Belldy!
