A Bear for Zachary

We have had this planned for SO long, . . . and today it came to fruition! Aunt Cassie has gotten each of my girls a very special Build-A-Bear (even named after them!) for both Leia and Annie before they were born. (Funny story, . . . Annie actually WORE the red and white Build-A-Bear outfit Cassie bought Annie on her first Valentines Day!) Anyway, as soon as we knew Aunt Cassie was having a baby, the two cousins wanted to build this bear! Both Leia and Annie chose the bear (a chocolate bear cub) and then built him themselves! They even added a little sound box that they recorded to say, "We're happy your born, Zachary! Love, your cousins, Leia and Annie!" The bear is named "Zachary Robert" just like it's owner, . . . and "he" will receive it at the baby shower in a few weeks. We went ahead and dressed him in the full outfit for the first picture (including the Braves shirt and hat), but I think we'll pack the Braves stuff separately so he'll come out of the box like this:

I love those bears! Denise made one in San Francisco, when she was little, and when we did not have store near by! She still loves him! The little heart and the message, and the name, makes him FAMILY! We just had to make more since then!
