Easter 2010

We had a great Easter this year, much better than last! Last year Jackson was just a little over a year old and got his first illness-croup. He was okay in the morning, but by the time Easter dinner was over, he was really struggling to breathe and was coughing like crazy. By 8 'clock p.m. we had him in the ER doing a breathing treatment and receiving steroid shots. It was so scary! Luckily, that was the only time Jackson has ever been sick so far! Last year we also were one minute late to the Saturday Easter egg hunt and totally missed it. So, this year we planned better and Jackson got to enjoy everything.

The weekend before Easter my mom had to dye 6 dozen eggs for the church Easter egg hunt, so instead of dying eggs here and making my mom do 6 dozen on her own, Jackson and I just went over there to dye eggs. He had a lot of fun for about the first dozen, then grew bored waiting for them each time, so he went off and played while my mom and I finished them. We let him add the stickers later.

Getting ready for the Easter egg hunt! I was about to turn him loose!

There were cute little toys and prizes all over with the eggs, but all Jackson wanted was eggs. He was very focused!

Proud of his stash!

My Aunt Teresa and cousin Emma came down from Boise for the weekend as well, so Jackson and Emma had a blast together, as usual! Here they are showing off their baskets. While Jackson could only seem to focus on eggs, Emma was very focused on a certain prize, then went for the eggs!

A little cousin-ly love at the breakfast.

Jackson made a haul this year! He got a tricycle, some books and little matchbox cars, and a backpack full of fishing gear! There was a little bit of chocolate as well, but I'm pretty sure I enjoyed that before Jackson got to it! ;)

Ready to go fishing!

And...my handsome boys! Cute smiles on both of them!

HAPPY EASTER!
