Easter Festivites

Jackson had a really fun Easter weekend. I was excited for him this year as he'd be able to really participate more than he did last year. He was just a measly 4 month old who just sat in his Bumbo seat last year. This year he could really do an Easter egg hunt, or so I thought!

Saturday morning we went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Jackson's friend Daniel (and mommy Wendy) came along. We met up with Jackson's other friend Lucas (and mommy Bridget) there at the park. As soon as we pulled up in the wagon, Jackson wanted to take off. It took everything I had to keep him contained. I thought, cool, he's going to get a lot of eggs! Yeah right, as soon as the countdown was up, Jackson headed straight for the sticks. He hunted a couple of leaves, sticks, and about 8 eggs! Daniel fared the same so we didn't feel so bad. Lucas, on the other hand, went home with a basket FULL of eggs. Hmmm!?!? I have a sneaking suspicion he got a lot of help! ;)

Daniel was going crazy shaking his Easter basket. This was too funny, I had to share. Hope that's okay, Wendy! ;)


Sunday we headed over to my Uncle Mandy & Aunt Denise's house. Jackson had a blast there! Again, he wasn't too interested in hunting eggs. He was way too distracted with his cousins, Zach & Ashleigh, and all their cool toys. Jackson did get a little help from his Mimi & Poppa (see pics below). We got a good laugh out of that. In addition to his eggs, he got all sorts of great Easter presents: two bat & ball sets, stuffed animals, books, a Mr. potato head, a giraffe tunnel, and lots of sweets! It was fun day for a little guy. He was zonked by the time we left!


This is how Jackson went Easter egg hunting!
