Am I a Kiwi or Am I an Aussie? At least I know I'm turning One!

That was the theme of Naomi's first birthday party. She was born in NZ, lives in NZ, but since July has been an Australian citizen.

So we decorated the house with Aussie Flag and Silver Fern balloons.

For food we served food which both Aussies and Kiwis claim to be theirs: lamingtons (the first time I've ever made them - apart from some fuzzy memory of making some in class at primary school), meat pies (the mini party variety), BBQ sausages on bread and pavlova.

We also had a gumboot (for the Kiwis) and thong (for the Aussies) throwing competition.

For the cake we had both an Australian and New Zealand Flag.
