Marlon's 1st Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Marlon's 1st B-Day. When he woke up we sang a german birthday song for him, then made him breakfast. Then Juergen made ourselves some nice breakfast with eggs, tomatoes, sausages and toast. Very yummy! Juergen had made a birthday cake for Marlon the day before, and when we had breakfast he got his cake with a candle on it and some presents. A wooden Cheetah, a wooden leopard and a wire and pearl sheep (typical Cape Town craft) and also a very cute book from Morti and nice Music from Inken.



Later in the day we went to a bird park. Marlon was in awe....



On the way his grammy from Bresahn called and he chatted with her for a while...



When he was asleep later, his mom went for a surf with a friend (Jardin), while his dad watched him on the beach. The surf was hectic, so no pictures of Maren surfing...
When we got home that night, we lit Marlon's candle again and tried to let him blow out the candle. I guess he still has to practice a little bit...




Then we put him to bed, but I guess the day was so exciting, that it took him a while to fall asleep. He woke up, again, after a while. He probably thought: " What do my parents think, putting me to bed that early on my birthday. I want to get up and have some fun." So he joined us in the living room, again, and ate 2 olives, drank some olive water and reorganized our dirty cuttlery. O well...
Then we all went to bed together...
