Chocolatada

I got together with a group of friends for a Chocolatada. It’s basically a mini party with hot chocolate and we did a Secret Santa. I picked my friend Patty for the gift exchange so I got her a Chalina (mini scarf) from my artisan group; I thought it was really pretty hopefully she liked it. Tiffany got a mini teapot and set of cups and saucers that was really cute. She ended up having me for the Secret Santa, and what did I get???

Two baby bunnies! Only in Peru do you get animals for Christmas presents. So I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to my bunnies but they are so soft and cute I can’t resist playing with them. I named them Flip and Flop. Neisser checked and we’re not sure but we think one’s a boy and one’s a girl. You know what that means; I’m going to have little conejitos (baby bunnies)! I took them home and put them in the cage with the cuyes because apparently they can live together.

The next morning I had to leave at 5am in the madrugada (car that leaves in the middle of the night) and since I had gotten home late from the party I didn’t have time to tell anyone about my new pets. Well the next day my aunt was feeding the cuyes when POOF! There were bunnies in the cage too! She stood there with her mouth open shocked. My little brother was totally confused as well. He was convinced that it was witchcraft that someone changed the cuyes into bunnies. I wish I had been there to see their faces.
