Kyla's a pretty typical 11 year old. She had a whole list of things she thought she would like for her birthday... $ for clothes, a cell phone, iPod, laptop, horse... With the exception of the '$ for clothes', the answer on everything else was "no" for various reasons, etc, etc, etc...
Then one day a cousin mentioned giving her a bunny for her birthday. After that it was bunnies, bunnies, bunnies... She talked about them, researched them, and dreamed about them. That was something Randy and I could live with.
So her birthday celebrating started out last Sunday night when I took her and 4 of her friends/cousins out to eat together at a restaurant. We had a great time and our table was very lively, giggly, and silly. I just kick myself that I didn't get a picture of everyone but I totally forgot. Driving everyone home afterwards was a great time too! Then Kyla and I enjoyed a beautiful drive through the country on our way home that evening, talking about many things including...bunnies. I really value these times more and more with my sweet young lady.
Finally Tuesday evening it was time to go pick out a bunny! (Thank you Sage and Heather!) That evening Daddy put together the new bunny hutch we got Kyla for her birthday...
Her birthday was actually Wednesday so we fixed curry pork and rice (her choice) for supper and then went to Mom and Dad's after Bible Study for cake! Rich chocolate cake with strawberries and Bunny Tracks Ice Cream...
Here we are gathered around the table. We got to celebrate with Loren and Dustin too!
Kyla spent yesterday with Grandma, going shopping and meeting Grandpa for supper. She got to spend the night at their house too. I told her we are going to celebrate all week and we have! ;)
So, we've been taking care of her bunny since she's gone and we all think she's pretty cute. I hope little Kalula likes her new home as much as we like having her here...
Happy Birthday my 11 year old!
Alison (aka "Mom")
