Easter!


We woke up on Easter morning and found out that the Easter Bunny had hopped up the mountain to our Julian cabin and left us Easter goodies! I think this was Jackson's first holiday where he was really excited and anticipated the celebration! He wore bunny ears all week at home and day care and would say, "hop! hop! hop!" when he saw a bunny or the ears. He put them on himself! They sang Easter songs at day care so he tried to sing along by saying "hop!" and marching. Sierra and I heard him sing, "baby, baby, Jesus" and we are pretty sure that was from his day care adventures, too.

We practiced looking for eggs so he was ready for the big day! After checking out his basket, Jackson took his new little bunny around and squeezed it really tight. We drove home from Julian after feeding some geese and hunted for eggs in our front yard. We took all of his bunnies and sat with them for a picture...last year he sat next to his first bunny and wore the same ears:


Not so happy about the ears...Easter 2009

Julian Mini Vacation

Our sweet little cabin--so cute and clean!
Checking out our view of nature.
Hmmm...what to eat?
Gotta love the Julian pies!
Fishing with Dada!
Feeding the geese and ducks on Easter Sunday
Jackson enjoyed the spaghetti dinner, but still says Mama's spaghetti is the best!

We spent last weekend in Apple Pie Land...Julian. We had a great time in our little cabin in the woods above Lake Cuyamaca. The wild turkeys were awesome to watch and we even had deer come into the backyard! Jackson saw the ducks and geese while Dada fished. We ate at a yummy Italian restaurant both nights since the fishing was unsuccessful. The pie is really worth the calories! The three of us split a slice of apple boysenberry for dessert. YUM! We walked off the pie by walking from our cabin to the lake and walking downtown Julian (ok it's not that long of a walk, but for a toddler it is).
