The Sacrificial Bunny

It is a family joke that we sacrifice a bunny every year for easter. I thought this year we weren't going to attempt again, but I guess Mark couldn't resist. He took Syd to IFA and bought her another bunny. This is about six years in a row that we have gotten a bunny or two for Easter and for some reason none of them live to see the 4th of July. Sometimes they are lucky to hit Memorial Day. So I'm posting this picture of Hopper, who set a record of surviving only 2 and a half weeks with the Hansen family. Seriously, we try very hard to keep them alive but something always seems to go wrong. Hoppers death remains a mystery. Sydney went out to play with her in the morning and said she seemed tired, because her eyes were closed. I didn't think much about it at the time. After school Sydney went to play with her and came running in the house crying hysterically. She sobbed out that the bunny was dead and HARD AS A ROCK. Needless to say after some serious hand scrubbing and convincing her Heavenly Father needed Hopper in Heaven she is doing fine and waiting anxiously for Easter 2009's bunny. Heaven help him.
