UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!
JESUS HAS BEEN FOUND!!
Kenniston had stuffed him in a compartment/pocket between her carseat and the trunk. It was a spot that I hadn’t thought to check because it is a weird spot and honestly I thought it hadn’t made it to the van. I was absolutely relieved when we got in the van today (after buying a similar replacement bear) and I heard a sweet little girl shout “There’s my Baby Jesus!!!” I hugged Kenniston and her pink bear! Vincent then grabbed the bear and hugged it in excitement, it was so sweet. Phew, that was quite the scare! I bet Mamaw had no idea just how loved that sweet little bear would be when she bought it for Kenniston many years ago. Needless to say I am going to put a tag of somesort on the bear with our phone number on it!
