This Biz is For the Bears! Sometimes, it becomes beary essential to take some time off and re-energize your mind, body and soul. I did just that a week ago when I headed to SoCal to attend my grand-daughter's 3rd birthday party... and what a party it was!
My daughter (Rachael) is a very creative gal, who has a wonderful knack for planning social events. Every year, she comes up with a theme for her daughter's birthday, and this year the theme was... 'Ellie Locks and The Three Bears.'
Just to give you an idea of the kind of party I'm talking about, take a look at the pics below (before the bears arrived). Some of the backyard decorations included 3 beds (Mama, Papa & Baby Bear) made into tables with handsewn bed skirts.
This Biz is Definitely for the Bears! All of the decorations and food were made from scratch for 100+ friends and family who joined the celebration (this little girl is beary loved)! Every year my daughter asks each guest to donate to Ellie's charity in lieu of gifts for Ellie. This year, we collected tons of bears and blankets for a special charity called My Stuffed Bags, for needy children.
It takes a lot to plan these parties, but it's worth all the effort when you see the joy and excitement on little Ellie's face and her guests every year. She's 3-yrs old now and way smarter than the average bear. We're already planning next year's party and the theme is going to be... 'Ellie and Her 4-Legged Friends'!
My Ellie Bear's middle name is LOVE ;)
