ENGLISH MOTHERS DAY

Today was special as we celebrated "Mothers Day" in England. All the kids played their part in showing how special their mother was to them. Ngahuia was in charge of the cards and menus and was amazingly thoughtful and industrious. She started her card making earlier in the week making one at school and then 3 others in her spare time at home. The end product can be seen in the photos to follow. Once she completed her cards she decided to the create a list of special things we could do for her Mum and a menu for her special breakfast. On the day she was up bright and early waking her Papa so they could start preparing breakfast. The Kids and Dad let Sharon have a lie in (her second favourite thing)while they were busy downstairs. Ngahuia decided it would be a good idea to close the curtains leading into the conservatory so that we could unveil breakfast. Once breakfast was ready and the table was set the whanau asked Mama to come down stairs. Ngahuia unveiled breakfast and Mama was very impressed with the spread and preparation. On the menu were pancakes, bacon, golden syrup yogurt, strawberries and mocha coffee. Liam started with a karakia and we all shared a wonderful breakfast. After breakfast Paraone packed the table and Liam washed the dishes. Oh and if your wondering what was Grants contribution - He managed to burn the first couple of pancakes.
