For Grandpa Rich.

This post is dedicated to Grandpa Rich in Las Vegas...  

We love you Dad.

For Christmas, Chad's Dad gave our girls something special.  

Not just a gift, but an experience.  

A gift card to Build-A-Bear Workshop.  

Last month, we were able to spend an awesome day in the city - 

just the 6 of us together.  

We had an amazing day, full of fun and laughter. 

 

One of our stops was at the Build-A-Bear workshop.  

It was so fun watching the girls take the time to 

pick out the perfect little animal.

So many choices...

After they settled on their favorite new friend, 

it was time to stuff them with fluff.

Then, of course, every little creature needs a heart,

but before the hearts went in, 

our girls made a wish of love for them...

 

Next, it was bath time.  

After the baths, they spent some time picking out 

their favorite outfits for their new little friends, 

and then got them dressed.

And finally, they sat down at the computer 

and gave them a name.

Meet Alyssa.

  She is a darling little monkey 

who likes to wrap her arms around you, 

and she's Gabi's new best friend.  

And this is Meg.  

She is the cutest, softest little puppy 

who cuddles up with Shaye at night.  

Pretty cute new members of our little family.

Thanks Dad, for giving us such a great memory.

We only wish you could have been there 

to share it with us.  

And now,

so I don't leave the boys out...

Cade has been enjoying his pre-paid visa you gave him.

He has used it twice for snowboarding, and is having a blast.

And, Jordan is lovin' the new American Eagle gear

and is lookin' good in it.

Thanks Grandpa Rich!

Now come visit, will ya?

We miss you!
