Christmas Surprise

Merry Christmas! We hope that you all are enjoying the holiday with friends and family.

We had a fun surprise for our kids this year. They have been saving money to get a pet rabbit and when we finally had enough money saved, we found out that Austria has a law that requires you to have 2 bunnies. They were upset and thought that they needed to start saving more money to buy a second bunny. So, we decided to give them the second bunny as a gift for Christmas, and they had no idea that we got them. We have been hiding them in the basement for 3 days! We wrapped them up after the kids got up this morning and this is the video of them opening the box. It was so fun to see their reactions! I think Cotter was more interested in the candy from his stocking (which doesn't surprise me)!

Very cool. Not exactly like the cat wrapped up in Christmas Vacation.

I LOVE that video! Carli and Cotter's reactions were awesome. I hope PETA never sees your video, but I do love that you wrapped the bunnies up! Carli couldn't believe that there was a present that was jumping! It was good to talk to you today- Love you! Merry Christmas!
