Isla Enjoys the Weather

So it's been really nice weather the past week or so and Isla has enjoyed her days outside now that it isn't raining or require a jacket.  She has figured out that there are rocks in our backyard, which she likes to collect or throw them for Bindi (our dog) to fetch.  Marin, her cousin, has also given Isla her bike that she has outgrown.  She is still a little big to reach the pedals but nothing a bungee cord can't fix (as a seat belt that is).  You will see below Isla's recent discoveries.

So here we finally are...Christmas photos from our visit to Colorado to visit Ryan's parents.  We had a great time and Isla got to play in the snow!

Isla's Christmas...Post Christmas

We went to Colorado for Christmas to see Ryan's parents and Isla had a white Christmas.  (Those pictures will come later)  We returned home the day after Christmas (Ryan's birthday) and we opened presents between us and had a great time...Santa was very generous this year and Isla made out.

Isla got a pink chair and ottoman!

Ryan is trying to explain to open her presents

Isla and her favorite Disney princess...Rapunzel

Ryan got Isla her own electric guitar

She loves it!!!!  Especially when it's plugged in

Isla Meets Santa Again

So Isla's Santa encounter wasn't the same as last year...last year she was peacefully asleep...and this year was a bit more traumatizing.  

Isla patiently waiting to see Santa

Isla upset that she's sitting on a scary fat man's lap

She got to ride the carousel after Santa...all is well again.
