Silly Russell

We all had a beloved doll or stuffed animal growing up.  Russell's was a gorilla that his mom made him.  His name is Green Gilla.  He has been sitting in our closet since we got married.  Green Gilla was much loved and has definitely seen better days, but he's Russell's stuffy so he will stay in the family.  So, while I was shopping I came across a green stuffed gorilla.  I couldn't believe it!  I almost didn't buy it.  Then I decided that I had too.  It was just too perfect.  I came home and introduced it to Russ as Green Gilla's little sister.  Russ had to take some pictures.  Here they are!

On another note, anyone have any tips to make Green Gilla look new again?
