For each kids first birthday, we have gone to the candy store in the mall and stuffed them a birthday bear. The child whose birthday it is gets to pick out the bear... or their big brothers and sister... and then we stuff it and each get to put in a special heart. It has been one of our most favorite family traditions. Each kid has a different bear and they love them! Kai's stuffing of the bear was delayed a little from his actual birthday... the store ran out of bears. Go figure. But we finally got it done. There is not a very good picture of the bear with Kai, but hopefully someday there will be. The kids were mad we would not buy them all the candy in the store... let's just say this was a very short trip to the mall... smile. But we got the bear.
Kai picking out his bear... notice that he is not going towards the bears... there was candy next to them he was WAY more interested in... ha ha
The kids got to each push the pedal to fill the bear with stuffing. So fun!
Our attempt at a picture.. can you tell things were not going so well at this point?!?
One last try... please for mom??Yup... still didn't work. Oh well... we got the bear.
