Belated Birthdays

It just so turns out that all three girls will always be celebrating their birthdays within a couple of weeks of each other. While we were there, we took the opportunity to do something special with two of then for their recent birthdays.


On Saturday afternoon we took the twenty minute drive into Saskatoon with Teddy.


Don't let the sunshine fool you . . . it's cold out!


We did a bit of shopping with her and let her choose her gift.
This is a lot more fun than guessing what toys they may have . . .
especially when you don't see them all the time.


After shopping she chose to go for a timbit date.


I just realized she has hit pretty well my favorite age!
There is something special about the fun conversations 
you can suddenly have with a three year old!


On Sunday afternoon we took the drive back into the city with Lacey.


She knew exactly where we were going, making sure we parked at the right mall,
and then led the way up the escalator to the shop.


This is where our five-year-olds get to go for their birthday.


It was interesting to see how decisive she was in choosing her bunny
and the accessories to go with it. 
There was no hesitation or hemming or hawing about anything.
In the end there was just a big smile and 
a warm tuck in at bedtime with her new special friend.

Love the rollerskates on the bunny! :-) And Teddy's cute pudgy hands. Can hardly wait to spend some time next week with one of our own three year olds.

Oh, such fun! Don't let Tim Hortons see that picture of Teddy - they will surely steal it as their own! You've made some wonderful memories for those sweet little gals. I think that cold air is heading our way this week - eek!

This brought back my own "Build a Bear" memories. I smiled when I saw the rollerskates on the bunny. Your little girls are so blessed to have grandparents like you two! By the way, you are young looking grandparents!

I am inspired to make birthday traditions with my family. Also, being from the Praires I am always in the lookout for more beautiful and warm coats. Love yours! Could you tell me what company made it? Looks fabulous on you:-) as you enjoy this wintry weather with your loved ones.

Hi Sheila,
I got the jacket early this year at the GAP on a half price sale. If you don't have a store to check near by, it's online here

It fits on the big side.
