For the first time in as long as I can remember, my 36th birthday fell on Easter Sunday, this year. So, we had a two-for-one weekend, complete with a lot of celebrating, family time, and too much food.
Sona and I had a food-a-palooza restaurant-hopping adventure on Saturday night. On Sunday, we woke up and the Easter Bunny had visited, left a basket of goodies for Finn, and had hidden eggs around the house. We did an at-home brunch in our jammies–which was my preference–and then we went out and bought 4lbs of fresh crawfish for a seafood boil for dinner (also my preference).
Here are some photos from our birthday-Easter-NOLA weekend!
It was Finn’s first time dying eggs, and he was SO stoked. All things considered, he did really well. I mean, we didn’t end up with Easter egg-colored walls. That’s the bar I set for success.
He got wilder and wilder as the process went on. Let’s say he was rather–enthusiastic?–about dunking the eggs in the dye.
Here are some iPhone shots from our birthday date night:
All I ever want for my birthday is shellfish!
Easter morning, Finn was excited to see that the bunny had visited!
Will someone remind me to give him less chocolate, next year? 90% of the food he consumed on Sunday was chocolate. Clearly, he didn’t mind.

Chocolate-induced singing and dancing…
Hello, lover! Finn said, “They not snapping anymore!” No, baby. No, they aren’t.
It was a great weekend, complete with the things that mean the most: my family, a lot of play, and a lot of good eats!
