Easter weekend had its ups and downs for the Jackson family. To start with a definite "UP", Elise got to enjoy her first slumber party with her cousins Landen and Lainey!
The kids got along really well, which meant that the parents (Sean's cousin Derrick and his wife Tracy) were able to hang out and enjoy visiting too!
Mommy wouldn't let Elise sleep with the kids--she wanted to make sure she was rested up for the Easter day festivities--but the girls had a lot of fun playing in the bed when it was up and ready!
Because we knew Easter morning was going to be crazy busy getting everyone around, and because Daddy had to work, we decided to do Easter baskets on Saturday night. The kids got a haul and had a good time check everything out and then swapping candy! Both Lainey and Elise got Tangled, so guess what we watched Saturday evening???
Easter day started with more "UPS", in that this cute little monster was at Mammy and Popa's. We all just absolutely adore him! We had a bit of a "DOWN" before we went to Mammy and Popa's though: our power went out for a little over an hour. Mommy was in a panic, worried about how she was going to make her side dish! Literally in the nick of time, the power came back on. Poor Elise, though, she didn't understand why her Mommy wouldn't "let" her watch a movie!
Mammy and Popa needed a new picture with their grandbabies to put on their computer (the last one taken was at Christmas) and I think they were able to get a good one! I absolutely love this pic and will be finding a frame for it sometime soon! In another "DOWN", Elise got sick when we were on our way to the Jackson Family Easter, so we had to turn around and come home. We're pretty sure that the little con-artist was able to talk everyone at Mammy's into giving her extra helpings of strawberries and blueberries and all that sugar made her sick. She was back to her normal crazy self after her afternoon nap, which was a relief to Mommy!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
