We celebrated Matariki with some dear friends this year. Our twin sons were born during Matariki 2020 so we didn’t have much energy to celebrate last year. Our friends decorated their whare with beautiful blue and purple fairy lights which hung down from the ceiling like stars. Our babies loved being held up and being amongst the lights. We shared kai and said a karakia before we ate. During the meal we shared reflections on the year that had past and our hopes for the year to come. It was a memorable and beautiful evening celebrating together.
