Easter Saturday-Jackson Style

We gathered with our Jackson side of the family the Saturday before Easter. I absolutely love a Jackson get together. There is never any stress or dread...just good ole family fun- with lots of laughter!!
Dad bought the girls a volleyball net, and we took it over to Pops and Memaw's and set it up for the evening. It was a hit!

Even Aunt Emily wasn't afraid to join in on the fun! Pregnant Jennifer would have been scared of tipping over!!

We enjoyed burgers and yummy chips and dips. And not too long after- the kiddos were begging to hunt eggs!! So we sent them inside while we head 12,376 Easter eggs. (or at least that's what it felt like!)
And nothing screams GREAT PARENTING quite like making them come outside and line up for a photo op before running after the eggs!

And soon they were OFF!

GO Macie and Wyatt!!



I dread the day when this angel is too old to hunt eggs. Luckily we aren't there yet!

This girl is serious about her egg huntin'! My favorite picture of the day!

Where's Wyatt??
When your Walmart bag Easter basket springs a leak..Mom and Dad jump into action to help whilst you continue to hunt!

She had an advantage over the others since she is taller than them!

And after all the eggs had been found.... or at least we think they had.... the kiddos gathered to check out their loot!

Gosh I love these two monsters!

Sometimes you need to check out each other's loot!

Soon after the egg hunting ended, we spotted the other set of kids- the big kids flying kites! Thanks Aunt Jana for getting kites for the little ones for Easter! It kept the big ones entertained for a long time!!

At this point- they had taken all of the kites and tied the string together to make one LOOOOOONG kite string that flew so high I'm sure NASA spotted it from space!!

Volleyball soon resumed until it was too dark to see..

And Memaw gave Brenna, Macie, and Wyatt their special Easter Egg prizes! Filled with MONEY!! Man- how come no one gives me Easter eggs full of money anymore??!!

We ended the evening with wine on the back porch while the guys enjoyed a cigar. It was a great night! Good times were had by all. And Josh and I were just thankful that we didn't have to sit in our NOISY house and listen to the fans blow.....
