It was Chris and Bob's birthdays recently and our little Birthday Bear Group celebrated both their birthdays on the same day because they live quite a long way out of Brisbane. However, they came down to the suburb of Redcliffe where we had a delicious lunch at Preece's overlooking the pier and bay.
Chris and Bob have just been to China for a holiday so Ann and Helen dressed Birthday Bear appropriately. Bear morphed into a Panda Bear for Bob and later Bear became a tourist visiting the great Wall of China and the zoo for Chris.
Mary, Bill, George, Bob, Chris, Ann and Helen then I swapped places with Ann from behind the camera for the next pic.

Helen and Ann dressed Bear in Panda Bear suit to remind Chris and Bob of their trip to China.
Here come Chris and Bob.
Chris and Bob travel a long way to be with us.
It's so nice that you have a loyal and faithful group of buddies with which to celebrate birthdays. I also like the creativity with which Bear gets dressed for each occasion. Very cute.
