Teddy Bears and more teddy bears!









We took Avery and her cousin Keeton to a special event at the Grand America Hotel to give teddy bears to sick children--specifically Juvenile Diabetes patients. There was a display of hundreds of teddy bears and candy set up in the Presidential Suite. The kids each brought a teddy bear to donate-and got to pick a spot in the room to put it, and in return got a ticket to "buy" a special prize at the Grand America Children's Gift Shop. They also got to hear Christmas stories and eat candy--what could be better? We also saw all the amazing gingerbread houses, made by local bakers, that they have on display throughout the halls of the hotel. Then we spent a little bit of time in their courtyard admiring the massive Christmas tree! We will definitely go again next year.
