Build-a-Bear (or an Owl)

For Christmas Sandy gave Ty and Lucy gift cards to the Build-a-Bear Workshop. So last week we all went to the mall to stuff and fluff. Ty was a little overwhelmed by the huge selection they had to choose from. He really surprised us when he opted for an owl, especially since he is more than a little afraid of them. Anyway, we tried not to sway his decision and let him go for the owl. For the owl's clothes he chose, drumroll please, a baseball uniform (specifically designed for a bear) and - are you ready for this - roller skates. Hey, if he was happy, I was happy. Anyway, Hoo Hoo Are You (yes, that's his legal name) now proudly resides on Ty's toy bench. And as for Lucy? She got a super-soft pink teddy bear named Rosie.

Ty helped Lucy stuff Rosie.

Lucy gave Rosie's heart some sugar before it was sewn in.
