The Boli got a picture taken with the animals they made at Build-a-Bear. (Katelyn is in the center with her koala.)
After 11-year-old Katelyn went to Build-a-Bear for a friend's birthday party in October of 2006, she decided that would be a fun thing for her family to do. She wanted to take the family for Christmas, but wasn't even close to the amount of money she would need. So, all year long, she saved. She baby sat, did extra chores and she saved everything she earned. She also saved money she got for her birthday in November until she had more than her goal of $200.
On December 20th, the Boli took a little pre-Christmas trip to SLC. They stayed two nights at the Shilo Inn, a few blocks away from Temple Square. The family went to a laser show at the planetarium, went rock climbing, took a carriage ride, saw Enchanted, and swam in the hotel pool, which was open 24 hours a day. On Friday, December 21st, they all went to Build-a-Bear and stuffed their very own animals - Katelyn's gift to each of them.
