Ella Builds a Bear, er, Bunny

Nana and Papaw surprised Ella on Saturday, and took her to the "Build A Bear" workshop in the mall so Ella could assemble her first stuffed animal. If you’re not familiar with the store, it allows a child to select the outer shell of the bear, the amount of stuffing one deems necessary, as well as the appropriate outfit/garments. Ella chose to forgo the bear route, and instead chose to build a bunny. She selected the moderate amount of stuffing, believing it was key to the optimal shape of the bunny. Finally, it was only appropriate that Ella dress her new stuffed creation in a Colts cheerleading outfit. Dad certainly was proud....
