A Hoppin Good Birthday

Reagan had her 6th birthday on Saturday. When Mark and I began to think of ideas for her party we really wanted to have a party that reflected Reagan. Reagan is our animal lover, but she has out grown old McDonald themes, so it was time to think a little harder. We wanted an at home party with an animal theme, but how to pull this off did not come to light until I did a little searching online. I found a petting zoo that would come to your home and bring a variety of small animals. I got especially excited when I realized they have dozens of bunnies. We put in a request for bunnies for the birthday party and the Bunny Birthday Surprise began. Reagan helped me make a bunny piñata (Not something easy to find in September) and she requested a chocolate cake, which of course had to be in the shape of a bunny. She had no idea about the bunnies that were on their way. While Mark had the kids distracted with the piñata the bunny lady set up an enclosure and by the time the kids were done filling their candy bags the bunnies were ready. She brought the rabbits in little baskets (each of which Reagan was able to open) and she talked to the kids about the different kinds of rabbits and their care, but the most exciting part was just getting to hold and play with them. It’s official my kids need a bunny. Maybe we’ll keep one of these baby bunnies for starts.


































































I think we should start a petition to get the Christiansens a bunny.
