Easter in Austin

The weekend we went down to Austin also happened to be Easter weekend. Tia Awol and Devin had fun dying eggs while we were gone! At my sister in law's suggestion that I passed along, Tia Awol put Devin in the bathtub to dye them, and then just followed it with a bath which I am told was much needed by then!

The next morning Devin woke up bright and early. Tia Awol said she tried to get her to come get in her bed with her to get a few more minutes of sleep, but before she knew it, Devin has escaped and was at the bottom of the stairs and had just discovered her Easter basket that was newly filled with treats when she got there! There was a Dora paint book in it that Devin LOVED!

There were also bubbles that she played with and fed to the frog...

And sidewalk chalk that also got a lot of attention...

Chris and I got back around lunch time. She was painting in her Dora book again and happy to show daddy her work!

Tia Awol set up an Easter egg hunt for her while I kept her distracted upstairs for a bit. She had already hunted the empty eggs multiple times, but this time they had stuff in them!

A little later we went inside to see what the eggs contained!

She also wanted to show off the eggs that she made as well as make some silly faces!

Later that evening we made some yummy dinner and enjoyed visiting before we hit the road back to Fort Worth the next morning!

Many thanks to Tia Awol for making Devin's first overnight away from mommy and daddy so memorable and fun. I have great memories of Easter at Aunt Bird's house with Tia Awol and Edward and Clay and am so happy that Devin gets to have some of her own!
