When I left the hospital today, I decided to browse through the gift shop. As some of you know, I absolutely adore stuffed animals - especially beanie babies. I’ve been collecting beanie babies since 1997. Ty has been releasing a Holiday Teddy each Christmas season since 1997. I found the 2005 edition in the gift shop! Take a look!

Isn’t he adorable?

Beanie Babies make me happy!
By the way, you’ll have to excuse the way I look. I still haven’t quite recovered from my illness.

I wish I looked like that when I got sick!
Although that would be kind of weird since I’ma guy…
Anyway, nice beanie - is that a poinsetia he/she’s holding?

Sorry you weren’t able to make it to the play - you really weren’t allowed to switch to another night???
And I think that bear was slightly overshadowed in that bottom picture……..

Looks like a pair of cuties to me!
The one in the bottom pic is a lot nicer though.
Don’t worry, I’m way too old and know better.

I collect Beanie Babies too! All mine are stored away right now though…I have so many there’s nowhere to put them (somewhere over 350 of them, plus some bear Buddies)….got way behind the last couple years riding on the truck w/ hubby though, so I don’t collect ‘em as seriously as I used to.
They make me happy too.
