Build a Bear finally got us....


Emily turned 9. What a day. We did it up and fun was had by all.

Well, except for Jay, who was at work 90% of the day.


We started with presents: Bella Serra cards, a diary, jeans, a Brownie sweatshirt, an American Girl book. Then it was off to the mall for...


BUILD YOUR HOME LOAN I mean Build-A-Bear. One for Em and one for Tara simply for coming along. And when you are in home loan mode, why not add some more.... For literally YEARS we have been staving off Em's desire for one of these bears. But I caved. She'll only be wanting them for a couple more years. She's my baby... you know, the typical caving.

They were cute. Not 94 dollars cute, but cute nonetheless.

Then we got an ice cream cake. In for a penny in for a pound.
Then Jay came home and we opened Emily's big present from Tom and Sheri- a Playstation 2 with games!!!! Then off to church and then out to eat.
It was a great, albeit expensive, day. I need to go to bed now and think about that second job. :)

ha! Good luck with those payments, Tom. Sheri, I would take a picture of the bears, really dogs, but they are never out of their arms. :)

Happy Birthday Emily!! In addition to starting a college fund I guess we need to start a Bear fund too :)

I'm just waiting for the day our dog gets hold of one of these overpriced bears and shreds the little fabric heart out of it. Maybe I should just encase them in glass now.
