Stuffed Collection

Happy New Year (Chinese that is). This is a special New Year as it is the year of the Rabbit - Ellen's year. Ellen was born in 1999 and when we returned from China in April of 2000 (just before Easter), it was wonderful to see all the bunny decorations as if to welcome her.

For this reason we began collecting rabbits to decorate Ellen's room. After all it was a random Clown that was a infant gift we acquired for Jenna in 1991 that started her clown collection. So we figured Ellen's collection should be something more meaningful.

As relatives discovered what we were collecting for Ellen, the stuffed rabbits multiplied faster than the shelf space available.

You might say the collection is stuffed - or is it just a collection of stuff :)


PS: In a moment of cleaning house Susan attempted to eliminate all the superfluous stuffed rabbits from Ellen's room. Little did she know that Ellen and I discovered the trash bag and reclaimed the stuff - and carefully hid it from future clean-aholics. The collection lives on.
