Build-a-Bear Birthday Erin decided that all she really wanted for her birthday this year was to visit Build-a-Bear. She had a great time picking out, stuffing and dressing her little dog. She has been sleeping with her new dog every night, and even dragged it to school today! Side note for you moms: it's much cheaper than taking 10 little kids bowling or to Peter Piper Pizza, and we had a blast!
