Sushi Buffet & Build-A-Bear

What a fun-filled day! Our niece (Kylie) and nephew (Eric) are staying with us for a few days, so things are very active in our house. LOL! Kate is LOVING the company--she is so excited to have her cousins spending the night. :o) Today we met Halmoni and Halabaji for lunch at a sushi buffet. We got there just before the buffet was ready to open, and already there was a crowd waiting. Must be a popular place! While we waited, the kids loved watching the fish in the aquarium.

After lunch, we went to North Point Mall so the kids could go to Build-A-Bear Workshop. We'd promised to take them while they were visiting, and they were SO EXCITED. They don't have a Build-A-Bear in their city, and they were really looking forward to getting a new stuffed animal. They had quite a time trying to decide what to get. In the end, Kylie chose a light brown bunny, and Eric picked a camouflage bear.


Kate made a panda bear for her baby brother.


Here's Kylie helping with the panda stuffing. In this photo, I think she is putting in the panda's cute little heart.


Time for the stuffing!


Eric's getting ready to stuff his bear, which he named Jedi. I believe he is rubbing Jedi's heart on his elbow in this picture. Eric is a big Star Wars fan, BTW.


Kylie's bunny--named Easter--is getting stuffed as well. Kylie loves bunnies--in fact, she has a real-live pet bunny named Daisy.


Jedi is ready for his fluffing and wardrobe selection.


Kate fluffs Andy the panda.


Getting brushed and fluffed. Oh wait, I think Eric is trying to pick out an outfit for his bear in this one.


All checked out and ready to go! Everyone had a great time--and we had some coupons that expired at the end of the month, so it all worked out well. Yay, BAB!

P.S. We got free Easter baskets, too, thanks to a cool promotion BAB has going on. Score!
