Jay decided that this year for Christmas, he wanted a pet bunny rabbit. He has been VERY consistent with this idea for months. He never once faltered and said he wanted anything else for Christmas. I was all for him getting a nice stuffed "pet" bunny...but Santa had much bigger ideas!
Santa found a local 4H breeder that was selling baby Mini Rex bunnies. And y'all...they were SO cute! They were born October the 14th, which meant they would be ready just a few weeks before Christmas. Luckily, Grandma helped Santa out and kept the baby bunny at her house until Christmas Eve. (Santa had waayyy too much going on at the North Pole to properly socialize a baby bunny!!)
So Christmas Eve, this showed up at our house:
Santa even left a trail of carrots from Jay's bedroom door to the bunny cage in the living room:
Christmas morning dawned and Jay was one happy little man!! Ha ha I don't think he even cared about his other presents. (Until he got to the swing set from Nana and Papa, but that is a whole different story!) Grandma asked Jay what he was going to name his bunny. Jay thought about it for a few seconds and said Fancy! Ha ha and Lord only knows where he came up with that, but it certainly fits!
So without further adieu, I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family:
Fancy Bunny
She really is a cutie! She loves to frolic and hop around our house, and she even tries to play with Dutchess! She is a bit of a priss, and definitely has a little bit of an attitude. Her favorite spot is under the Christmas tree, so she will probably not be too happy when we take it down. And, most importantly, Jay absolutely LOVES her!!
