a beary fun party...

On Sunday, the 25th, we celebrated Ben's 6th birthday at Build-a-Bear, along with 5 of his friends (and one of Emm's).  We all had a beary fun time! :)

The birthday boy:

Ben decided to build a dog instead of a bear:

Getting ready to go make their new stuffed friends:

For the first half hour or so, only two of Ben's friends were there.  (Then the other 3 showed up, all at the same time.)

When we were done at Build-a-Bear, we all walked downstairs to the Rainforest Cafe, for cake and presents: 

 We got two volcanooooooo cakes, yum:

 Ben didn't like the smoke coming from the sparklers!:

 Gift time!  A toy car!

 Another new dog!

 Hot Wheels!

Ben loved all his presents, the yummy cake, and spending time with his buddies ~ what a great party! :)
