Wedding anniversary and second birthday!

Hi everyone!
Time flies and so little there is too... WE have already had mama and daddy's 1st wedding anniversary (18th Aug) and yesterday my SECOND birthday!
Well, where to start... last Friday after mama had finished work we drove to Waxham near the coast (where incidently papa and mama got together 3 years ago!) and we managed to put up our tent in day light and with a beautiful setting sun (that was when there was still sun to be seen!).
The moon was out too, so that was nice. When the hard work was done papa and I made a cup of tea and I fell asleep in mama's lap and woke up in our tent-house with sheep sounds and the sea-shhhhhh. We didn't have great weather with drizzle on and off, but we went down to the beach first thing and that was really nice. Had breakfast and a potter around (klungelen) and then we went out for a drive and a nice meal in the Lighthouse pub. I had my own plate and got an icecream too! when we got back we had a snooze and then we went out to the beach again. THIS time I got to have a serious play and paddle-I couldn't get enough of it :)
The pictures will show you with my bucket and spade and with daddy in the waves-splish, splash , splosh! I didn't want to get out once I got to know the sea a little. We had a quick tea and soon it was time for bed again-days fly when your out! Luckily the second night was less cold than the first and together in the cosy tent we kept nice and warm. On Sunday we had an early stroll again and then breakfast(did you know that crisps are great for every meal?!) and tidy up of the tent and everything. When all was done we went to see if our friends we found out were there wanted to play on the beach. But they were out and when we where on the sand it started to REALLY rain hard and we all got soaked and it seems like it hasn't stopped since-until today...! FINALLY SUNSHINE!!! We had a lovely time away though and I heard my folks say we will do it again some time-can't wait :)
Then Tuesday we picked Oma up from the airport again, so she could be at my birthday.

And yesterday it was there-MY SECOND BIRTHDAY!!!!
I had a great day. I was still in my pyjamas when I could open my pressies from mama+papa, oma+Aart,Opa, Omee+Opee, Ome Onno +Zanima (=zimama). I got lots and lots! The first thing I saw were the balloons around the house, so I knew something was up and papa and maam sang me this song I had heard before when I woke up. I got a cool trike (driewieler) from mama and papa, a rag doll from oma and Aart, books from Opa and him and Oma also gave me a sandpit earlier, Aart also gave me a picture of the Goddess Freya after whom I'm called-a cool lady! I got a frog shaped tent and book from Ome Onno +Zanima and a great jumper with hat from Omee+Opee , a wonderfull rocking horse from Nana+Uncle Brian that really neighs and makes a clipetty-clop sound and waves his tail and ... scissors! I just LOVE my scissors and the all the balloons. After breakfast-trying out my trike with daddy Nana and Uncle Brian came to give me that wonderful horse and have the cake mama made. It had candles on that we couldn't blow out-they were like little fireworks-?! We then went to the city to watch a great brass band play Bollywood songs-swinging! I then had a nap in the pushchair and found myself at home again when I woke up, but the grown ups had lunch out somewhere they told me. I got good cards too. One with great sound saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! and my friend Nienke from Holland gave me armbands to swim with Nijntje-thanks!! I played with my new toys in the afternoon and we had pizza for dinner with ice cream after-my favourites! And then I was really tired after such a great day :)
Today we are having a house+garden day in the sunshine. Mama had her hair done and Oma and her enjoyed getting all the washing dry (fi-nal-ly!) and air the house with this good weather. Tomorrow there will a be a potluck birthday picnic for me at 'my park'. It looks like it will be fun and I look forward to tasting the carrot cake mama had baked today-never had one! I will tell you all about it as soon as poss :)
Enjoy the good weather when its there and take care! THANKS FOR MY PRESSIES TOO from those of you :) Love, Freija xx
