Easter Weekend

We had an exciting and busy Easter weekend! Let's start with Easter Sunday and work backward since that is most important. We got up on Easter and the little man found his Easter basket. He was excited for some new trucks and bubbles (which we had to blow right away). He also got a book, chalk, bunny ears and some snacks and couple treats. We then had a light breakfast of baked carrot cake donuts that I made and some fruit. We had a wonderful service at church celebrating the resurrection of our savior. The praise and worship was great and so was the sermon. Jackson seemed to have a great time in the nursery too! After church we met friends for brunch. While Jackson napped mike and I worked on packing up the kitchen (because we closed on our new house Friday!!!!). We woke the little guy from his nap to go to an egg hunt with friends. He had fun running around, riding a choo choo, and seeing the Easter bunny again. After a little more play time at Emma's house we grabbed some take out and headed to the new house to put up some stuff. Mikey and I then finished the night with a piece of carrot cake!!

This was the first Easter Bunny Jacks saw - it was at Chickfila and he absolutely loved him! He didn't want to get off his lap. Smiled the entire time!! He also wanted to keep giving the bunny a high five since the bunny was waving the whole time. 

A neighbor and I took the kiddos to an Easter park event the weekend before Easter. Most of the activities were geared toward kids a little older than Jackson, but he enjoyed visiting the bunny again and playing in the bubbles. He even climbed in a kiddy pool at one point! ha It was a hot day though and hard for this pregnant mama to chase him around!

Opening the trucks from his basket. He loved them!

Our breakfast before church. We met friends out for brunch after church. 

We couldn't get him to stand still to take a picture in his church clothes this day. Best I could get. 

Easter bunny number 3 - He ran straight to him and gave him a big hug! 

Jackson and Emma (in the pink dress) geared up for the egg hunt! 

He found a few with daddy. 

Now back to playing with trucks! A boy's life right there...

Now let's back track a little....we closed on our house on Friday! We are so excited to finally get settled in. The house is only a couple of miles from where we have been living, so the move isn't too bad. Having a toddler does add an extra challenge though! Oh yeah, and being 34 weeks pregnant! We are really good at doing things the hard way. :) it will feel so nice to be settled though. The house is much bigger than we are used to, so it will take some time to be fully decorated and furnished but with all we have going on right now I'm okay with that. Here is a picture of the front of the house. We will post more as we get moved in.

Since closing we've had a couple rooms painted, a couch delivered, and met with a carpenter to go over plans for our new built ins. We've been bringing over stuff as we get it packed to keep the house safe for Jackson. The kitchen is almost settled! Now for the rest of it....we should be fully out of the rental on Saturday. We will miss it here. We love the are and it is pretty much where Jackson has been since birth; however the new neighborhood is very family friendly and we need the extra space!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! God is so good!
