Easter! It's Easter? Well, it's just another day for us this year. We took Jackson to an Easter Egg hunt on base yesterday, I wouldn't call it an Easter Egg hunt though. They passed out cards with a colored egg and a sticker, you had to find the colored egg (ours was blue) with the matching sticker. (ours was a duck with red feet) They had the eggs in a small erea and it was just our luck that where we were standing before starting the hunt was our little egg sitting right in front of us! Jeff and I agreed that we would pick it up and hide it for him to find. So we went in and followed Jackson as he kicked each egg and not picking them up to see if they matched his sticker! Mind you we explained to him how to do it. I just think he really isn't in to the kid/baby thing, it's like he would rather be looking at the airplanes or doing something with dad these days. It could be cause we're not really in to it either. So we followed him around telling him to find his blue egg and match it with the sticker on the card and so he eventually did it. We on the other hand said screw this and dropped the egg and told him to pick that particular one up and we were done! lol We collected our prize and went to breakfast! Oh yeah, the kids got goodie bags for finding their egg. So really, he got to find one egg this year!
It just really isn't the same without family. The BBQ and the whole gathering together to let the kids play, color eggs and hunt. Hopefully next year will be more fun for him! He will have lots of cousins to do this with!
Here is Jackson right after we got to the park!
(Jeff dressed him and Jackson insisted on wearing his hat)
Waiting to find his egg!
We hope you all had a great Easter!

What a strange way to do an egg hunt. Ours on base was a bunch of eggs thrown out on the baseball field and madness ensued when they said go.
The holidays aren't as much fun without family around. You're so lucky you will be near them soon!
