Happy Birthday, Chelsea!

My daughter's birthday (won't say which number :)) was this past weekend. On Saturday, we had family over for what has become our tradition, an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Seems to really hit the spot every year for the only mid-summer birthday! At the guest of honour's request, we featured a Batman theme.

Naturally, Rustle had to help supervise blowing out the candles.

The next day we headed to the Build A Bear for the second part of our celebration. So many choices, not just bears, but dogs, horses and cats in a variety of colours and styles.

Chels with her choice, an adorable but pretty much flat and two dimensional fuzzy bear.

Next step, transforming this bear into a more huggable state. Frankly, it looked more like he was getting a medical procedure ...

After the stuffing, comes the fluffing and a bit of brushing out ...

All ready to get dressed ... so many choices ...

New clothes picked out, now to try them on.

And into the box, ready to go home.
