Build-a-Bear

Last summer,

Ethan had a a continuous birthday.

Each time we'd see some cousins,

they'd spoil him

because it was his birthday

and we see everyone once a year.

While it was great,

the perpetual birthday

needed to be killed.

So this year,

I thought we'd get everyone together 

for a mini-party.

We went to Build-a-Bear.

I've never thought of a Build-a-Bear

party before,

had never been to one either 

so wasn't sure what to expect.

But we had fun.

The boys were excited to see

one another again.

They haven't all been together

since Canada Day. 

Before Bear making.

 It would appear,

that even though 

the boys had many choices,

they all wanted 

Alvin!

Lining up to get our Bears made.

Each bear was given

a heart,

some stuffing,

a good stiching

and a bath.

Add some sunglasses

and we're all set.

The boys and their Alvins.

Eijaz and his Cars bunny.

Faiza and her Jays bunny.

After we got our Bears,

we went out for lunch.

Thank you 

to my wonderful cousins

for making this a great day for Ethan.

And I.
