Build A Bear Workshop is celebrating its 15th birthday since opening. They are also celebrating 100 million furry friends made. This is so exciting.

We absolutely love Build A Bear Workshop and have been collecting friends for a couple of years now. In total we have a lot of furry friends, but to  my kids the more the merrier.

To my kids these are their best friends, they love them and sleep with them every night. Yes all of them, 3 kids and 7 each.

My best friend now is my spouse

My spouse and I met when I was in high school and started out as just friends. When he left for the Army it blossomed to something more, and since then we have always had a great friendship/marriage. A friend is someone who is there for you and understands you. After two long deployments in iraq and 3 kids I couldn’t ask for a better friend.

Friendship can come in many shapes and sizes and yes even a stuffed animal. A friend is someone/thing that you can tell anything too, even if they don’t talk back. You can hold or lean on when your sad.

Now to my Build A Bear, that I love and spill secrets too. LOL

You can make your own Furry friend at any Build A Bear Workshop location.
