So Kelly & I wanted to do something special... We made our way to a store that is filled with dreams... The Build-A-Bear Workshop!
After choosing the perfect bear, we had him stuffed...
This lady was just so kind... AND she knew everything there was to know about stuffing bears...
As you can see, we approve of the bear stuffing lady (whose name we didn't get, oops)...
As bear stuffing lady was displaying the wonders of her craft, she instructed us to pick out hearts... So we did!
Then she said to make a wish on them... So we did!
Then we placed the hearts inside the bear...
Then she sewed the hearts into the bear, while telling us all about Build-A-Bear... Bear stuffing lady really liked her job!
After Bear Stuffing Lady finished her magic, she said we should take him over to the "wash" and give him a good once over...
So we took turns cleaning him...
Brushing him...
Fluffing him...
"Don't forget the bottom!"
Until he was just perfect!... Then we had to find him clothes...
It was a laborious chore finding the perfect outfit...
Good thing Kelly was there to offer top-notch fashion advice!
After that we had to make sure his birth certificate had all the right information on it...
It took a REAL long time...
And lots of thinking...
But we kept going... and going...
And going!
But then we crossed the i's... and dotted the t's...
And Quiency bear was born!
Happy Birthday, Mama... AND Quiency Bear!
