Our Easter activities spanned throughout a couple of days.
It first started on Wednesday (the 4th).
We were watching the Schauerhamer girls, so we took advantage of having extra hands to help us dye eggs. Plus it is always funner when you have kids around to do an activity like this.
They did great job.
Jackson just wanted to DRINK the dye.
Next year he will be old enough to help us!
This is the making of JACKSON's egg.
It had his name on it and unfortunately I didn't get a picture with him and his egg!
Oh well! Next year.
After we were all done dying eggs the girls started to wrestle in the TV room.
We told Jackson to go and tackle them...and he did just that!
Such an obedient little boy!
The next day we had an Easter get together at Morgan's house.
I made the dessert.
These fun Bird nests.
They are made out of pretzels and melted chocolate chips.
I also threw in a little bit of coconut.
They turned out so great.
And WAY yummy!
We had a great time at the Easter get together.
The Britney was there with Hailee and Carter.
Rachel was there with Lincoln and Isabel.
Marlese was there with Connor and Brayden.
Morgan was there with Leah and Lily.
AND we were (of course) were there with our little Jackson.
At first we dyed eggs.
Since Jackson is too young to dye eggs, Andrew, Jackson and I went outside to hide all the eggs.
Once we put the eggs down...Jackson made sure to go and get them.
He was really good finding them.
He would grab the egg and then sit there and shake them.
He loved hearing the candy inside.
He quickly found out how to OPEN the eggs and EAT the candy inside.
And of course, with the candy came big handfuls of grass.
Extra flavor.
Once he couldn't see anymore of the candy he would move onto the next egg.
Here is a group shot of all the kids who were part of the fun.
It was great to see the kids run around and search for the eggs.
Andrew and I tried really hard to hide some of the eggs, really EASY and then made some a little harder for the bigger kids.
It was mad chaos. SO MUCH FUN!
After the hunt was over the kids went around and played on the trampoline.
Jackson took advantage of the abandoned baskets and searched through them.
Then we went inside and had an amazing lunch.
Morgan made some tacos and we made sure to eat them ALL up!
We then had a great time playing DRAW SOMETHING on Marlese's iPad and had some great conversation while all the kids played.
At one point, I looked over and Jackson was having a GREAT time eating MORE robin eggs.
Just look at all of the blue dye all over his face.
This boy is FILTHY!
But, man did he have a great time getting THIS dirty!
I just love this picture of Connor and Jackson playing in a little girl's room.
They are just having the TIME of their lives.
It was a really fun day and it was so fun to get together with all of our friends.
Thanks Morgan for letting us come over. It was a GREAT time!
The Easter festivities CONTINUE!
On Saturday we went down to the Elementary school for the Community's Easter Egg Hunt.
Jackson got to meet the Easter Bunny.
He wasn't afraid at all.
He just really wanted to get his hands on the basket of SMARTIES!
SIDE NOTE: Do you notice ALL of the SNOW?
We were really upset it came.
The whole week up to this point it was absolutely beautiful outside.
We woke up Friday morning, the day of Andrew's graduation to a TON of SNOW!
NO FUN!
Which meant, Saturday for the Easter Egg Hunt the ground was covered in snow.
But, here in Ashton we were not going to let that stop the fun!
Jackson isn't quite old enough to participate in the actual hunt.
SOOOO, I made sure to get him an egg.
He loved his little egg.
We then put it on the ground and let him pick it up!
He loved going out and getting his egg.
Jackson even got to get a TOY and some goodies.
What a great time we had.
We are really going to miss living in this great community.
Later that day we went to the movies with Andrew's family and Jackson got to meet ANOTHER Easter Bunny.
Don't worry the Easter festivities did not stop there.
Next up...Easter Sunday!
