A Little More Birthday . . .

Last Sunday, Taylor and Frankie blessed Teddi with a trip to Build* A Bear, for her birthday. They didn't build a bear, but instead a sweet pink monkey name "Strawberry".  Teddi was proud to bring her monkey home and show her off, but insisted that the monkey go directly back into her "hooooome" which was the cardboard carrying box.  Finally, yesterday Strawberry was allowed out of her box for a stroller ride, and has remained out.  Welcome "hooooome" Strawberry monkey!

Yes, I think that's the one!

Come on monkey, time for some stuffing . . .

 . . . that's better!

Grinner graciously assists in the grooming.

Pink shoes to go with the perfect pink dress!

One Strawberry monkey, ready to go hoooome!
Thank you big sis and Frankie, you guys rock!

"For me?"
On Tuesday friend Claire came bearing a birthday gift!  

"I LOVE markers . . . this looks fun . . .

 . . . it is FUN!  
Thank you Claire, you're the best!

Surprises also came in the mail from Papa and Grandma Suz, to include fun face paint, which we hope to play with soon!  Thank you too, to our blogger friend Sarah, and Teddi's email buddy Lily (Sarah's daughter) for the precious sparkly "4" card, complete with ladybugs!  Teddi was birthday blessed!

Blessings from my nest ~

That is too funny that she didn't take her monkey out of the box for a week! Maybe that means she will keep her room clean when she gets older!! I love her squeaky shoes. Presley grew more than I thought she would and she is down to just 1 pair!

Teddi,

I love Strawberry. She is so cute! I have a pink bear with hearts from Build A Bear too! Her name is Claire Bear. Next time we go for a walk I'll bring Claire Bear instead of my doll.

Love,
Claire (with a little help from Claire's mommy)

Too cute! Van also says the word "hooome" as if he is ET...wonder why huh? Adorable regardless. So glad Teddi is enjoying the celebration...she deserves it all!

What a fun day at Build A Bear...I have always wanted to do that but we haven't, maybe we need to look into that soon.

Teddi, I love the strawberry monkey....great choice.

I miss you my sweet friend, we need to have a chat session soon!
