The Golden Egg

We started off the weekend heading to Purina Farms on Saturday with Grammy and Grandpa to see the Easter Village.   First thing when you walk in the doors there is a big wagon of eggs.  Jackson and Grammy went to pick his egg, he choose a green one and was very excited about his egg.  As I was helping him open his egg there was gold confetti inside along with some candy.  I was very confused, and then I spotted this piece of paper that read "The Golden Egg".  The lady ran over very excited and was yelling to another lady "they have the golden egg!"  I was still not sure what that meant at this time.  But we soon found out that Jackson had won a $50 dollars to spend in the gift shop and Magic House coupons!  Next was the Easter Bunny and Jackson was not impressed so we ended up with a family Easter Bunny photo.  Then we went to the dog show.  Jackson really enjoyed the dogs jumping into the water as well as people watching.  As much as he loves his dog he was not a fan of walking around to see all of the dogs there though.  Out of all the animals there his favorite was the bunny rabbits in the Easter Village.  We finished off in the gift shop to spend Jackson winnings!  He got a t-shirt, stuffed animal, stickers, chalk, two camper chairs and a free hat.  All in all it was a great trip.   That evening we dyed Easter eggs and let Jackson check out a hard boiled egg, which he loved.


Easter day we spent at home with Grammy and Grandpa.  It was a quiet but busy day filled with lots of eggs, food, cooking, naps, silliness, pictures and more.  The Easter Bunny had left Jackson a basket full of goodies and lots of eggs outside.  We headed outside early to miss the rain and hunt eggs.  Kevin made his first ham and it was delicious!  Jackson ate seconds and thirds, but not really surprised.  He also took two naps which is unheard of.  The first holiday we had hosted at our house was a success!  Can't wait for next year.
