Mothers Day Fun

Mothers Day this year was lovely! 

It started the Night before.  Our church always puts on a ‘Mothers Day Dinner’ for all the ladies and their whanau and friends around the time of Mothers Day.  So we had a blast together with some of our Besties! Then after that we went to a local café for hot choc etc. 

On Sunday Morning I was woken nice and early arghhh! Excuse all the photos, remember I had hardly had any sleep!  LOL!  As if I didn’t get into bed late enough  LOL.  

Terina made me fruit salad,  she had been asking me all week to get mandarins, Apples, bananas and grapes by Saturday in time for Mothers Day so I knew she was scheming something.  It was so cute.  I was woken and taken into the kitchen and it was all set up with my lovely surprises.  I love the fruit Salad she made (note the silver balls in it, now that’s a first)!  

The kids had made lovely cards for me,  one from each of them. 

The card below is Niwas' card to me.

The Card below is the one Arama made for me.  I 

Loved the detail in his picture. I am bike riding in the

street and there are people walking up and down the 

footpath.  All the letter boxes have numbers on them, 

the trees have lovely shading on them etc,  the dyslexic

detail is amazing!

The card below is the one Terina made for me at school.

Her kind words melt me as usual!

Terina also made me this card below.  

I think she copied a Maori Book of Mormon 

cover as it says Ko te Pukapuka a Moromona

on the front of the card.  When you open the card

up you see a lovely drawing of the temple.

This is me opening my present.

They Gave me Annabel Langbein's cookbook,

'Free Range in the City'.

Then the kids said they were going to make waffles for breakfast.

I am actually the waffle Queen in our house so I kinda ended up making 

them Ha HA!

More photos of us eating the waffles coming up.

All in all it was a lovely day filled with love and excitement!  My mum has been

on a Cruise around OZ the past few weeks so we didn't

get to see her  and Keith's mum was in hospital.  

Keith and Terina went  to visit her in Hospital after we finished dinner.
