Caroline's Bear Mill party

So today was the much-anticipated birthday party at the Bear Mill (like Build-a-Bear workshop). Caroline seemed to thoroughly enjoy herself, and her friends all seemed to have a good time too. They each got to choose a stuffed animal, a sound box, and an outfit. Then they got to stuff it, dress it, name it, and get a birth certificate with their picture on it. Whew! Lot's of activity jammed into a brief time. They had a nice party room in the back where we did the cake and presents, so when it was all done we could just walk away and come home without all the mess (other than the perpetual mess we live in these days with the remodeling...). All in all, I think it will be remembered as a great success. Here are some of the highlights.
