Jackson's First Easter

Jackson celebrated his first Easter yesterday. It was a special day!  The Easter Bunny came to see Jackson and brought him some new books, a new backpack, a swing, baby crayons, Puffs, and a chocolate bunny!

Jackson and I headed to church Sunday morning where he got to play with his church friends. He loves to go down the slide and watch the other kids run around.  He also got to be around two new babies.  He did good and did not seem jealous.

Jackson ate lunch at Noni's where he got another basket.  He got some new stuffed animals, paci, a new cup and another chocolate bunny.

Then we went to Greenville for Easter lunch.  Jackson more Easter surprises to celebrate his first Easter.  We had a great lunch and Jackson ate macaroni and cheese for the first time.  He loved it! Jackson went on his first Griswald egg hunt.  I always loved them as a kid at my grandmother's house.  She had a huge yard.  We would get so excited waiting for them to hide the eggs.  Most of the eggs always had money!  The eggs were hidden on cars and on people.  Since Jackson was the youngest there, he got to hunt for eggs by himself before the bigger kids got to.  He loved to try to eat the eggs!

Then Jackson and Tim went inside to watch the rest of the Master's.  Jackson refused to take a nap but slept through the last holes.

We headed home and then got to Skype with Tim's parents. Even though Jackson was tired, he still talked and showed off some of his tricks.

It was wonderful to get to spend Easter with family.  We are excited that Baby Will will be here for next Easter.

More Spring Break Fun

We took a day trip to Charlotte yesterday after we ate breakfast with Noni and Papa J at Mama Penn's. We went to Ikea.  That place is crazy and overwhelming, but the prices are so great!  Jackson was really good until we were standing in line, and then he was done.  After a lunch of chicken and sweet potatoes and a bottle in the car, he was good to go!

Tu Tu got him this shirt.  Notice the cute monogram!

We went to the Pendleton Jubilee this afternoon.  Jackson had his first ice cream-banana.  He loved it and wanted more!

Jackson's First Easter Egg Hunt and First Time Decorating Easter Eggs

We had a very busy day getting ready for Easter.  Of course we want Jackson to know the true meaning of Easter, but we enjoyed having fun with it too.

Jackson went to his first Egg Hunt at Clemson First Baptist today.  He found 3 eggs!  He mostly just wanted to eat the eggs and shake them!

Then we got home for lunch.  Jackson and I cuddled and napped on the couch.  By the way, there is nothing better than cuddling with my baby. We both sleep so soundly!

We also decorated eggs.  Again, Jackson just wanted to eat them.  At this age, that is all he wants to do!

Spring Break Fun!

It has been a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break!  Tim and I have loved spending so much time with Jackson.  We have loved sleeping late and waking up to little hands patting us on our backs or faces.  We have loved taking afternoon naps together.  We have loved planting flowers and cleaning up our house.  We even spent time getting ready for Jackson's birthday party. (I know it seems early, but I will be so busy with school that free time will be unheard of!) My mom and I worked on his birthday signs and banners.  I ordered the party favors and his invitations.  I can't believe that it is already time for birthday plans!

Here are some pictures of the fun we have been having!
