Easter Possum???

We had a very lovely Easter this year, despite the rocky start.  There was drama surrounding finding Jackson an Easter outfit.  Jackson has outgrown every pair of pants he owns, well unless there is a flood and then he's golden!  I searched high & low, went to no less than 7 stores before finally finding him suitable pants the night before.  Easter morning, we get up and I go get him dressed and they don't fit.  Ugh!  I could cinch them up in the waist and they were long enough, but the legs were massive and totally unacceptable.  So since I had no backup plan, we heathens didn't go to chucrh on Easter.  :(  I know, terrible, right?  So this year our Easter consisted of an egg hunt at our house, another egg hunt at Yaya & Pops' house and of course, yummy food!  Cedar plank salmon & asparagus {love}!  Here are a few pics...   







Yaya's egg hunt - Jackson was running around like a wild man, I only got pictures of the back of his head most times:






We blew bubbles that afternoon - always a favorite!


Emme has started clasping her hands over her mouth when she laughs. 
I could eat her up, she is so adorable!


We left my parents' early because Aaron had to clean our gutters before our HOA strung him up.  While he was working our neighbor (a wonderful retired lady, Karen who lives alone) came running over saying something was in her garage.  Keep in mind that Aaron's mom has instilled a deep screaming (like a girl) fear of any and all rodents in him since birth, but he went right over and set out a trap and caught it for her.  Karen hates them so much, she wanted Aaron to get his pitch fork after him, but I felt sorry for the little guy and snuck a dish of water into the cage and forbid Aaron from killing it.  You can't kill one of God's creatures on Easter!  The poor fella got into some D-Con in her garage and I'm afraid he wasn't long for this world, but he was still a-hissin' when Aaron drove him out to the country and let him go. 

Hope everyone had a joyous Easter!
