This year for Josh's Birthday we took him on a surprise family field trip to Build a Bear Workshop. Luckily Martin Luther King Day was the day before his big day so the kids could all come along and join in the fun. The three older kids have had a turn at Build a Bear before so it was just for Josh this time.
It was a hard decision when we got there looking at all the different animal options....but finally he chose the gray and white wolf.
Josh's animal is extra special because he got to put a singing button in one of his hands. So when you push it, you hear the theme song to Star Wars!
Every Build a Bear animal needs a heart!
The first hug and bath. Hanna helped him by showing him how to do it with her Build a Bear named Tiara. Josh took the "Air Bath" very serious making sure to brush all over his Wolf.
I was lucky enough to get to help Josh dress his wolf in the outfit hand picked by Josh. He chose the Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi outfit with a light saber. Jake decided to use his Christmas money from Grandpa Anderson to buy a new outfit for his Build a Bear named Ben. He chose the Darth Vader outfit and light saber so now the two of them fight each other!
Dressed up and ready to head him with his new owner!!! Josh named his wolf Obi Wan. The kids were really sweet helping Josh sign him up on the computers and making the Birth Certificate and helping him choose the outfit. It was a fun family outing!
Josh was pretty excited to head home carrying THE BOX.... (you know the box that all the lucky kids carry around the mall when its their lucky day!)

I love the picture of Cole up at Mt. Charleston -- super cute! And you made me super jealous and sad that I missed out on the "best girls night ever in Vegas!!"
We have a Build-a-Bear here in Germany! What a fun birthday activity! Cute wolf and outfit, Josh!
