As a special treat I took the kids to Build a Bear late Thursday afternoon. They had a fun time designing their own Christmas animals. Ben built "James" the reindeer/moose with Christmas lights intertwined around his antlers. Emily made a moose named Holly that has two hearts. If you have never been to build a bear there is this whole ceremony called the heart ceremony and you have to jump start the heart before you put it in the bear. The kids have to rub the hearts on their elbows, and blow on the hearts and then jump up and down. Emily enjoyed that part so much she wanted her moose to have two hearts. I was very impressed with the nice man at build a bear that helped us design our animals. He was great with the kids and since we were the only people there he took extra time with us and made it really fun for them. So maybe the down economy isn't such a bad thing after all? At least it makes for less people at Build a Bear. Ben picked out Christmas PJ's complete with red slippers for his moose to wear. Emily picked out a silver skirt and black sweater with sparkly red shoes. Actually all Em cared about were the sparkly red shoes, she wanted to wear them herself which is why the moose does not have them on in the photo! The big highlight for Emily was to push her moose in the doll stroller. She looked so adorable walking through the mall pushing her little stroller! She was so proud.
When we returned home Emily even shared her cookie with Holly the moose. And as Emily had on her favorite navy blue Mary Janes she allowed Holly to wear the sparkly red shoes.
