-Isla
Isla decided, against our wishes, to turn five on Sunday. Although we were having the family over in the afternoon Isla wanted to open her birthday presents early. Her presents were almost entirely related to My Little Pony, which was all she asked for this year.
The family came over in the afternoon. As always, Isla and Sydney immediately ran off to play together while the other kids found things to entertain themselves. When it was time to decorate the cupcakes, all the kids summoned the strength to break away from their activities to cover the sugary treats with sugary icing and then wash it down with sugary juice. Take that parents.
One of the favorite parts of a birthday is the piñata. Since it was a My Little Pony party, the piñata was a pink pony. All the kids got a chance to whack it with a small stick, then the big stick. All the kids did some serious damage to it, but it was Isla who took the final swing that broke it in two. Happy birthday Isla!
While the day was for Isla, the kids still wanted to celebrate Sadie turning one. Nina and Papa brought a doggy treat bag and Sadie enjoyed it so much she even tolerated the birthday hat for a few minutes.
