Benjamin and the Three Bears

Took Ben and his two best friends Joe and Alex to Build-a-Bear workshop for Ben's birthday treat (his actual birthday is on Wednesday). Never been before, I was pleasantly surprised as I was fully expecting to hate it. Anyway, the boys were happy, I was divested of plenty of hard earned cash, we came home for pizza and cake and all is well. Ben loves his new bear, Mario (centre) who has no voice but does have a beating heart, shinpads and a football.
