Big day for the big boy - Vol. 2

While Markus was sailing around the Balearic Island of Mallorca Kerstin, grandma Heidi and godmother Sandra and our friend Sandra prepared the second part of Jakob's birthday celebrations which was planned as picnic in the Prater with lots of friends. Small meatballs, tuna, noodle and greek sheperds salad as well as a cake were on the agenda alongs side drinks for the juniors and the parents. When Markus stepped off the airplane on Sunday morning in Vienna he was though pretty shocked: having departed at 0850 at temperatures of 28 degrees and sunshine in Palma Vienna welcomed him with overcast sky, a cold wind and temperatures in the area of 15 degrees.

4 little people had fun together

Given the circumstances and the fact that it was raining during the night a picnic outside would have been a chilly and wet thing and thus we decided to hold the party in our flat. As some of our friends unfortunately could not come anyway there was no space problem and so Jakob could play with Sofie, Laurenz and Felix in the living room, while we had coffee, cake and the salads together with Tanja & Christian, Claudia & Oli and Jutta & Tom as well as Sandra and Doris who we have not seen in a very long time. Jakob received a lot of nice presents like a picture, clothes, lots of books to read and a small chicken on a stick to push similar to the frog he got from Sandra on Tuesday. this was the main attraction during the afternoon and he likes it a lot. In the evening our junior was (again) so tired that he fell asleep instantly and was shortly afterwards followed by his parents who were also pretty tired.
