Building Bears

Jaclyne wanted to do something to commemorate Valentine's Day with the kids

since she couldn't see them on the actual day. One of the major downfalls of her job.

She has to work on all holidays so we don't get to see her much unless I go work at the shop.

We'd passed by Build-a-Bear quite a few times in Downtown Disney and they always cry to go.

So that was her valentine's gift to them and man, were those 3 kids excited.

I love, love, love when Charlie gets all shy and makes this face. So adorable.

They each got to press the pedal to stuff their bears.

They chose hearts and made wishes on them before stuffing them in their bears.

There was a sweet little poem read to them about the hearts.

All stuffed and ready to dress.



"Washing" their bears.

Picking outfits was a challenge all its own aside from Ella running away every chance she

could so she could grab more little hearts to stuff in her pocket.

Meet Darth Doggy, Emily Bear and Minnie, respectively.

3 new little Gosselins.

Their fun night out was finished off by a trip to the theater in their pajamas to go see Gnomeo and Juliet

with bears, Icees, popcorn and M & M's in hand. Those are 3 very lucky little kids, if you ask me.

It was a really fun experience for  all of them and Kate's still talking about it.

Thanks a lot, J!
