Urielle's first birthday

It was niece Urielle's first birthday the other day- and great fun to see the three "cousins" together again. They had great time - and so had we.

Ouma Lalie made sure there were enough push toys for everyone. Franco particularly liked this pram.

Urielle wasn't quite walking yet, but she easily pushed around this wagon.

Martelize couldn't wait to also tuck into the birthday cake.

Franco wasn't so much interested in the cake, but the BALLOON! He quickly ripped off the balloon from his chair and was far more interested in the balloon than the yummy goodies on the table.

At first Martelize wanted to help to open the presents, but then she decided climbing into this crate of toys was more interesting.

Franco's only interest in the toy opening was when his uncle put in the screws of a new toy for Urielle. Screwdrivers are very interesting! However, he soon went off exploring the big garden and climbed on everything in sight.

Thelwyn had to go to another function and left Martelize in Dorette's and my care. Martelize, uncharacteristically took a fancy in a teenage guest and wanted to be on her lap for ... well for a long time. However, when I later walked past them, she held out her arms for her Ouma. (Sy het ons darem nog nie afgeskryf nie!)

Gelukkige verjaarsdag Urielle! Mag God jou seen!
