Danni's 1st Birtday

Danni had her 1st birthday on April 28th and we had a small party for her on Sunday the 27th with just close friends and babies. We had muffins and fruit instead of cake and Danni loved her 1st muffin.

She celebrated her 1st birthday on Monday at the Daycare and had more muffins to eat. She started walking a few steps here and there a few weeks before her birthday, but fully walked right on her first birtday.

SA Trip

It's been awhile since I've blogged. In March we went to South Africa for 3 weeks. The flying was a trip from hell, since we had to take an extra flight and was delayed for 9 hours, but once there we had a lot of fun.

1st week we spend in the Strand (Cape Town). Liam and Danni went to the beach a few times. Liam loved catching little crabs. We also went to Spier to show them Cheetahs and big birds..they loved it. We also celebrated Oupa Vissie's 80th Birthday.

The last 2 weeks we spend with our family in Klerksdorp. We had numerous "braais" and went on a few game drives. Liam just couldn't believe his luck with seeing all these African animals for real. Danni turned 11 months and was everyones favorite little baby. The cousins played non-stop with each other and that made things very easy for us as parents.

Our flight back was again delayed, this time only 6 hours:(

Jetlag takes about 5 days for a 3 year old. We were very tired after the 1st week back, since we had to get up at 3am every night for these wide awakened kids.
