Easter Weekend

For Easter, we headed up to Hickory to spend some time with my parents.  Friday, we were so eager to get to Conover & see our little man, as mom had had him since Wednesday.  We loved having a break, but were really ready to get him back in our arms. 

Saturday morning, we headed up to Hickory bright & early to have family portraits made.  These were long overdue and we can't wait to see how they turned out!  Jackson had a blast swimming in Poppy's roof-top hot-tub and didn't want to get out, even after his fingers & toes were all pruny.  We had a yummy BBQ lunch, then headed down to Newton so Jackson could participate in the Easter Egg Hunt at Mom's church.  In the toddler egg hunt, they had essentially dumped eggs out on the floor for them to "find" and "put in their baskets" (i.e. practice cleaning up their toys).   Jackson got bored after about a dozen eggs and had more fun blowing dandelions & grubbing on cupcakes.

Back at Bebe's, we found an old metal scoot car in the basement & Jackson had a blast scooting it around the driveway.  Between the, the new slide Bebe got him, chalk, bubbles, a new baseball bat & tee and the golf cart, it was pretty much just like camp.

We had a suprise belated birthday celebration for me Saturday night...

And Sunday morning, the Easter Bunny had come with a basket full of surprises for Jackson.

Sunday after church, Bruce's daughter & her sons came over.  Jackson isn't a fan of babies and go pretty jealous when Bebe held Josiah (3 months old).  Eventually, he got over it and wanted to hold the baby himself.  Hopefully this is a good sign...
