Birthday Party!

This weekend was the last of Isla's week long birthday celebration. I will miss singing "Happy Birthday to Isla" everyday. (We may let her continue that if she wants to). We ended with a birthday party on Saturday and I have to say for having 7 children under the age of 4 in the house, it went surprisingly well. The cupcakes were the center of attention, every once in a while you would see a little head lingering just beside the table staring longingly at them. A few swipes of frosting may have taken place, who's to tell.

The first bite of that sweet sweet cupcake.

She walked around most of the day entangled in balloons.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Our Isla!

Our little Isla bean turns TWO today! We celebrated this morning with a birthday muffin and "Happy Birthday to Isla" and then had cupcakes with her classmates at school today.

New baby TOMS she likes to wear because they are "purr-pal".

Family Photo

I know this blog is about Isla, but I thought I'd include a photo of the entire Rutherford family for those of you who don't get to see our smiling faces so often. We hope you are all off to a wonderful New Year and we hope to see your smiling faces soon.

Christmas

I think James and I anticipated Christmas morning more than Isla, but when she walked out and saw her car and trains, she was filled with excitement. It was a fun morning opening presents and watching her wide-eyed excited expressions.
