The word for rabbit in Chinyanja is kalulu. Well, for Christmas our kids received two kalulu! Kendall had been checking around town and found a lady that was selling them. Yesterday, he snuck out to go and buy the kids their Christmas presents! The kids were so excited! Of course the first order of business was naming the rabbits. Snowball and Carrots were the first names. Then we settled on Snowball and Lulu. Lulu had a little adventure jumping around the yard and went right into a cactus in our front yard. So for about 20 minutes, Kendall and I used tape to pull out the fine hair thorns. For several hours after we kept finding them in our clothes and they would randomly appear on our hands. Needless to say, Lulu was not held very much yesterday because of the thorns. ( I think that he/she was a smart kalulu.) Kendall and Rabson built a great pen for the rabbits and they are happy. The funniest thing is that our dog, Summer, is incredibly protective of the rabbits and will not let the other two dogs anywhere near the fence. She slept by the pen yesterday and is quite the mother kalulu!

| Lulu...loving the fact that the kids can't hold her because of the thorns! |

| Snowball was hungry and Easton loves these rabbits and would stay there all day and night if we would let him! |
So glad you got rabbits. The kids will really enjoy them!
