We're all Kiwis now!

On Friday, Ian, Ethan and I became NZ citizens. Immy is already one by birth but she tagged along. I was trying to explain to Ethan that he was becoming a little Kiwi, but he didn't get it. Mind you, I think I confused him by asking whether he wanted to be a fruit or a bird. All we got most of the way through the ceremony was "I don't want to be a Kiwi!"

First we had to take an oath swearing allegiance to Queen Elizabeth.

Then we were given certificates and a native tree each to take home - so 3 for our family.


Erin came as our whanau (extended family) and acted as our photographer afterwards. Immy gave a very big cheese!


Afterwards we had fun at the Mall. Ethan got to take his birthday money from Granpa and Mim to the bank to change aussie to NZ dollars - put most of it into his bank account and then bought a transformer and a DVD.

What an exciting life you lead. All Kiwis eh ? I must say you all look very well turned out ! Congrats all round. Love the cheesy picture. I have just come back from a childrens work conference/training day at All Souls Langham Place. Saw the Chrissy lights as we came out. Quite impressive.Thought of your Bristol flat as they have extended All Souls by going down into the vaults, two layers of rooms down there and warm as toast.God Bless all of you.Love and hugs Mum & Eddie xx
