The Day after...

We were supposed to go to Idaho to visit my parents, but the road was closed because of the big storm we got. So instead we hopped onto FrontRunner and went to Salt Lake to see the lights and stuff. Sidney is a big ole copycat. She saw Mike holding onto the strap while we were on Trax and so she had to do it. It was so funny!!Rachel didn't make a very good Christmas list, so Santa (at the last minute) gave her a gift card to spend at Build-a-Bear. She picked out a bunny. Here she is with the chic that works there (who was completely UNfriendly, btw) watching her bunny get its guts put into it. I didn't get a good picture of her kissing the heart and putting it inside which is a bummer because she was so cute about it.

Here is the finished bunny. Her name is Suzy. Rachel even got a pair of glasses for her to wear so they could match. The best part of the whole thing is that the store was so busy that they gave a $5 coupon to everyone standing in line, so Rachel had even more money to spend. The other kids were so enthralled by the whole process that they have all proclaimed that it is what they want to do for their birthdays!
Then we went over to Temple Square to see the lights. It was too freaking cold, so we didn't last very long, but I did manage to get this great shot!

I think next year I'd like to take the kids to Temple Square to see the lights... It's been 9 years since I've done that. Too long.
I love BABW. 2 of my kids have one, but they want more - weird.

That was the bunny I wanted to get Corinne! I was even at the Build-a-bear at the Boise Towne Square Mall to get it but I changed my mind at the last minute. I decided that she was a bit too young and that the bunny would be as big as she was and she probably wouldn't have that much fun with it. I hope that they have it when she is older, though. That bunny is just so darn cute! Good choice.
