Easter Weekend

This year my birthday fell on Easter Sunday, so to help us celebrate this fun weekend, my parents came to town!  It was nice to have a long weekend with them here.  On Friday my mom treated us both to pedicures.  It was so nice!  Saturday we had a fun filled day around town.  We started the day off by an early lunch at Hula Hut.  It was my place of choice for lunch, but I insisted on leaving our house early enough that we would beat the lunch rush.  We ended up down there at 10:45, but we didn't wait for a table!

After lunch, we headed down to Zilker Park so Levi could ride the Zilker Zephyr.  While we waited for the next train, Levi enjoyed the playground and Pops enjoyed the souvenir shop.  Levi got his very own engineer hat and train whistle.  He loved riding the train!  He wore his new hat and practiced with his new whistle.  We completed our day at the park with some snow cones and a nap!


Saturday evening we dyed pirate Easter eggs.  Levi had a lot of fun directing the placement of the stickers and then adding his own flair to the eggs.  He loved playing with the pirates and their ship and even used his train whistle as the plank!  



 Mat picked up some cupcakes from Hey Cupcake for my birthday.  All of us enjoyed them...especially Levi!


Sunday didn't go quite as I had planned, but slowly I'm learning to let my plans go!  Levi woke up and loved his treats from the Easter Bunny.  Grammie fixed Levi a special Easter breakfast of pancakes and easter eggs filled with berries.  We made it to church without taking pictures, and I had a feeling they wouldn't happen after lunch either...  For lunch we headed to brunch at NXNW where the tables had lovely champagne glasses filled with jellybeans.

In order to keep Levi happy while we waited for our food, we filled him full of jellybeans!  After all that sugar, he was like a different child- rolling down the booth, screaming, kicking his feet on the table...  What was I thinking?!  Needless to say, it was quite the peaceful lunch I had hoped for but it was a wonderful weekend with family!
