Yesterday, we as a family celebrated my youngest's 15th birthday party after picking her up from school, having finished her Polyfest practice and whisked her away to a family dinner at the Valentines Restaurant on North Shore.
We had an absolutely lovely time together with lovely surroundings and delicious food. There were three generations present with my mum, her grandmother, her auntie, siblings, a friend and we as parents.
This is the party vibe birthday cake that we picked up for her as a vanilla cake with strawberry icing. She also had a restaurant chocolate mud cake, making it two cakes that we took home and celebrated with sparkling grape juice.
Then it was time for speeches, blowing out the birthday candles, and singing that timeless birthday song with present openings and a lot of laughs along the way.
Tonight is her last practice together with the Cook Islands drumming group, and looking forward to tomorrow with their performance on the Cook Islands stage at 12.30 pm approximately.
We'll be there cheering them on, and I'm looking forward to attending the biggest Polynesian Festival in the world with 6 stages of: Māori, Cook Islands, Tongan, Samoa, Niuean and the diversity stage. It will be so busy looking for limited parking but well worth the time and wishing her team the best in the competitions....
