It's an ongoing tradition that every time we have a new baby, Matt takes the kids to Build A Bear Workshop to pick out a new bear for the baby. The kids get to pick the bear, stuff it, wash it, clothe it, and give it a name and birth certificate. It always seems to be a good time.
Mom never gets to go.

it must have been loud. Lauren doesn't like loud noises and she's plugging her ears here

Mitchell was obviously less than impressed. He was ready to go home. Notice his "fake" cheese smile.
since we thought we were naming the baby Alyssa, they made a recording that said "We love you baby Alyssa. Love, Daddy, Maddie, Lauren and Mitchell." When we changed Lexi's name, they had to go back to the store, open up the bear, change the recording and get a new birth certificate. Now we have the right name.
