Matariki breakfast

"Mmmmmm... savoury." I mumbled with a mouthful of food. There was tens and thousands of different types of food. Emma brought some pancakes, James brought some sausages, Arabella brought some fruit kebabs and Hinegawai brought some donuts! There was also some waffles, oranges, apples, bacon, mini pizza bread and cupcakes. You name it, it was there. It wasn't like heaven, it was heaven. We all had a total blast with music in the background. It was like an all you can eat buffet with live music.  As a bonus we could let the adults have a go at our matariki quiz which was amazing. I most enjoyed tasting the different types off food that was there.
