A very busy weekend

I really wanted to go to the Christmas Chaos this weekend, but it was too insane to even think about going.

Friday night we were invited to our Aunt's and Uncles for pizza and a movie. We both stayed up late, and got up late Saturday morning(late for us anyway 9-9:30). Saturday flew by and yesterday we had 5 different sets of people coming to the barn for various things.

Tamashanter Rabbitry came to get their 2 Mini lops, and Holland buck back. They oohed and ahhed over all the babies(we have lots out their!).

Electric Bunny Rabbitry came- of which, Andrea kindly did a Bunny photo shoot for Christmas photos!! The pictures turned out beautifully and we can't wait to get the Christmas cards back that we made today with them : ) Thank you Andrea!! We also will put the pics up on the website closer to Christmas.

Then, we had a breeder on Saltspring Island come to buy mini rex.. She only wanted 3 but left with 4, lol!

We had someone come to look at Mini rex and picked out a jr red buck from one litter, as a future show buck for them : ) He will be going to live with them in December sometime.

And then we had someone come to look at some cages, of which they purchased 7 and came and picked them up today. So it was a very busy weekend!

Last night Andrea came back to the house for dinner, and we all started baking at 10pm. We finished at 11:30 and Andrea left shortly after. Then, Cristina and I didn't go to bed until after 1 which is really late for us.. So we totally overslept this morning- which didn't help classes! And weren't up until almost 10am(within 10 mins of each other because my room is next to hers and I'm usually half asleep tripping over dogs(stubbing toes, crashing into things, lol)(ack!)

We had to be in Victoria by Noon or 12:30(which we made, just) as we had 3 stops to make, and had to have the car back for 3.. Which we also made, just.. However, our mom had already gotten a ride to work(she can't drive the truck because it is standard and a pain in the arse to shift(straight 6 shifting or something, lol) so we headed to the barn.

Cristina and I both agreed if at all possible we are going to do that more often- have everyone come in one day, one afternoon. It is busy, and jammed packed but it is so much easier then every evening, or afternoon etc.

I got my 3 new Jersey woolies today from Ingrid, all the bloodlines I'm working with Leapin. A beautiful chin doe, a really nice pointed white doe, and a gorgeous black buck! I plan to do breedings ASAP! So I will be having some litters by Christmas : )
