Congratulations Ben,

but I miss the familiarly resemblance like the fur and bear-eyes.

[Set PunMode = True]

Thank you for the picture of the bear-y tree CC!

[Set PunMode = False]

Grandma will love it. It is very similar to a suprise my son and I put together for her some years ago. After stopping at store called "Never Enough Bears", we cut down some dowel rods and impaled a dozen of those fuzzy critters. These we then aranged in a vase* on the kitchen table. She loved the suprise so much that it has been on the table ever since. We called it "A Bouquet of Bears".

*The vase was an accidental act of genius. It was given to us as a wedding gift and had our wedding date. Now I can recall our wedding date (after peeking) and know when I am ignoring our aniversary.

Hi CC. This is Mrs. Ben. (aka June). I love the picture! Thanks for posting it. There's an electrical cord going into the cow, does it light up? Happy New Year!

Hello Mrs Grand-Ma June,

This is a good surprise ! We often hear about you here but I believe this is your first post. You make my day !

I have to confess that the more time I spend on these forums the more I appreciate teddy bears. I couldn't miss these ones. There are lights dissimulated everywhere behind the fluffies, but I could not make a proper picture at night.

I'm wondering who, among you two, is the luckiest to travel through life with a so nice companion ? 😉 🙂

Happy New Year !!!

Am I the only one who cringed at reading that sentence? 😮

Warning, bad pun ahead. I apologize in advance.

(Jim doesn't count because he kringed).

P.S. Congratulations.

As long as the cow is not 'grounded' beef, he should be OK 🙂

CC,

Perhaps you can automate the illumination of the critters using a cFP?

And now I am allowed to post this image! Not as cute as Olivia but it has a special appeal in my neck of the woods.

Ben,

Glad to see that you made it before noon. Seeing as my mother was born and raised just down the road from you in Washington, PA I can relate with the appeal.
