Our little Daisy troop had a great first year of cookie sales! To celebrate their effort & achievement, the troop went to Build-A-Bear workshop to make the Girl Scout 100th Anniversary bear. This was a surprise for the girls, and when they heard the news (right in front of the store) they squealed with delight!

| This was right when the girls found out why we were at the mall. I LOVE Kyrie's & Isabelle's reaction! |
Inside the store, the Build-A-Bear instructor took over and lead the troop through each step to make their own bears. I had Degen with me, and he made his own bunny rabbit with the girls. There was lots of fun to be had, and the girls did a great job listening, taking turns and following directions (many of which were silly). They even made a special bear just for one of the girls who could not be there. They were model Daisies!
Each girl made a bear and got a special 100th Anniversary patch. They also got a t-shirt with a Daisy petal decal, a miniature Daisy vest for their bears (each made by our leader's mother) and Build-A-Bear patches for their vests & their bears'. The girls absolutely loved everything! I let Degen pick out an outfit for his bunny (a firefighter outfit) and picked up a pair of glasses and a few extra pieces for Kyrie's bear. After all our bear-building fun, the whole troop headed to a nearby restaraunt for ice cream sundaes! This was a wonderful wrap-up to our first cookie sale with much fun had by all! Thank you to our wonderful leaders and cookie mom for all their effort & support!
