When we made our Christmas Bucket List this year I told the kids we were going on a special family date and there would be a fun surprise. The family date was set on our calendar for December 23 and the kids could not wait! Finally the day arrived and we gave each kid a special present to open.
They were really excited about it until they opened it and saw it was a gift card. They didn't really understand what it was for and were underwhelmed to say the least. Once we explained that their gift card was to Build-A-Bear, they gave us the reaction we were hoping for.
After waiting in a very long line, the kids finally got to pick out their bears and it was finally our turn to stuff them. Each kid got to push the button that filled the bears with stuffing.
Then they got to put in a special heart.
Each bear the kids picked out fit them perfectly.
Then it was time to wash and dress their bears.
And finally, meet: Hallie Bear, Captain America, and Menna.
I think it's safe to say the bears were a huge hit and the kids absolutely love them!
After Build-A-Bear we surprised the kids with dinner at Tepenyaki. The kids were hilarious to watch as the chef lit up the table with fire. Our kids didn't know what to think.
But they did think the food was good. They especially liked eating with chopsticks.
After dinner we ended our family date night with dessert at Waffle Love.
I just can't express enough how much I love this family of mine. We have three great kids and a whole lot to be thankful for.
