By now the grands know the drill -
a fifth birthday means a date to the Build-a-Bear Store,
and I don't know who looks forward to it most!
Jade kept saying ...
"there are so many options!"
And how IS a girl supposed to choose?
She chose a rainbow panda, because pandas are her favorite animal.
Next she had to choose -
did she want a beating heart put inside ... and a sound?
Obviously!
And the stuffing lady did a great job!
I was proud of how she could choose an outfit out of so many!
Papa helped with getting Panda dressed...
she always has something to say.
she always has something to say.
And suddenly she remembered that she had a camera in her backpack ...
she wanted to take a picture!
I think she chose well.
Rainbow Panda got registered
and off we were ...
Dear Jade,
If only we could bottle your spunk
and your joy and anticipation for what every day could hold.
If only we could write down all your sentiments, sighs and stories,
beginning with "so ..."
we'd have smiles to last a lifetime!
You are wonderfully made,
a precious gem.
Happy Birthday!
May God keep and bless you always.
Love, Papa and Mimi
♥️♥️♥️

Oh my, what a fun way to celebrate turning five! She is a sweet little cutie.
Your blog posts are always so enjoyable Anneliese! They often are an encouragement to me to take a few moments to reflect on the blessings in my own life. Thanks for keeping it up in your busy life.

Ahh...I just love this tradition of yours. The memories...so precious. Jade is such a cutie and it must have been fun listening to her thoughts on building a bear. She chose well!
She looks like such a sweetheart and I really like the way you make all your grands feel so special, like the tradition of the stuffies.
