So today was a pretty special day for us as we celebrated Islas first Easter. We aren't particularly religious but its always nice to make the most of holidays and traditions, especially ones that involve lots of chocolate. We are currently on a mini holiday visiting toms family in Cornwall and as Isla hadn't met a few of the family from this side (Her Auntie Anna and Uncle Chris flew all the way from Texas to meet her) its been a pretty busy time.
We started the day of with a much needed fry up made by Toms dad and his partner (we actually went out last night into St.Ives with Toms friends and some family whilst Isla stayed in with her nanny so safe to say we felt a little fragile this morning). We had a traditional Easter egg hunt before we set of to Falmouth to see Toms mum and her side of the family. The family lunch was booked in at Rick Steins fish restaurant which I was really excited for as I had heard so much about it. I went for the classic fish, chips, mushey peas and tar tar sauce and Tom had some sort of duck dish (duck in a seafood place? weirdo) Isla was spoilt rotten with cuddles and kisses as usual... (Its hard being so damn cute) We ended up back at Toms mums house for another eater egg hunt, some more cuddles with Isla and a few different card games. We are now in are PJS slobbed out on the sofa and Isla is fast asleep in dream land thinking of the chocolate she will be able to eat next year. Overall it has been a really wonderful day and things like this are so special to experience for the first time with your child; it makes me think of all the other firsts we have to come like swimming, words, crawling holidays abroad, Halloween, Christmas.. and that's not even half of them! Isla makes the world a beautiful place to be.
