BEAR'S BIRTHDAY....

Bailey has a bear...and it's a very special bear. This bear is the kind of special that, if lost, we'd offer a very large reward. We're always very careful when taking bear (or Beary as Boo calls her) out of the house for fear of loosing her. I was given this bear as a shower gift and Bailey adopted her as her special friend around the age of 12 months. She loves her bear and you can tell bear (Beary) is loved by her (yes, she's a girl bear...because she's pink Boo explains :) by her worn appearance. Lots of loving there...

So, bear had a birthday. Actually, she has them about once a week but, this time Bailey went all out :) She decorated the dining room table, put out some friends for the party (note Tigger and the plastic duck in the picture below), had Tom and I sit down at the table where we then sang "Happy Birthday" to Beary and Boo blew out the candles (that she made us light :). Then there, of course, was a party game (note the picture below where bear is playing "tape the heart of the wall") and presents (Bailey had wrapped up some of her toys and her brother's books for bear). It was all very, very cute.

Only "bad" part is....now Bailey wants to throw a big party for each of her friends (aka stuffed animals) in her room. Yeah....we could be here a while :)
