What a wonderful welcome home.

Starting from the bottom of the drive there were little welcome home signs. On the door there was a huge poster with pics of me thru the ages. and in the lounge were more welcome home signs.

On the table was a veritable feast. I felt bad because I couldn't sample everything. Not to mention, on the way home, we bought the biggest bucket of KFC.

Thanks for going all out for me. 

Oh es. See that pretty dress Jordan is wearing? Apparently, it's a gift for me. I did get to wear it, but I didn't get to keep it. Lol.

It's been 7 years and I am finally going home....for a visit.

So my mum was a bit miffed that Jordan had only been home for a matter of months and yet I was coming home for a visit. But to be fair it's not just a visit. It's my baby girl''s big 21st birthday. Yes she is rather spoilt since she's already had the big 18th birthday party, but that's a benefit of having grown up in two countries...even more reasons to party. Haha listen to me. As if I was a real party animal.

Jordan was not happy that I stopped for a photo instead of a hug first. Can't blame her really. Love my family.

Golly I've been slack.

So I am about to embark on another trip back to New Zealand. This time I am going back for my mother's 75th birthday. "Why are you coming back in August?" my mum asked.
"Come back in summer."
Yes that would be lovely but we are planning to go to Hawaii for my brother's big 5.0. and mum? Your birthday is in August. heh.

So I may try and catch up with old posts about my trip last year in Nz but going by past experiences...probably not.
