Teddy Bear Birthday & Flashback Friday

Connor and Lex got their Build-a-Bear friend bears in December 2011.  So when we were at the mall, of course Connor remembered that it was his bear's second birthday, and of course that meant that we had to celebrate.

In order to celebrate the bears' birthdays, we bought each of them a new Build-a-Bear outfit.  Then we took the new outfits home and wrapped them up and sang Happy Birthday and opened the presents.

Wanna see their new outfits?

Connor and Strickster in a new Houston Texans uniform

Lex and Cole Bear in a new Batman outfit and new flames shoes

The bears don't seem to have aged at all in these past two years, but the kids sure have grown.

Look here, at Lex, playing with Cole Bear in 2011, wearing matching jammies and playing in the laundry basket with my magic wand.




Connor seems to have gotten older, too:

Can you tell?  I don't think he would fit in a laundry basket this well anymore.
