The Nolden Family

They kids have been learning about their country for a while, they had a parade to show off what they had learned (see photos below), and after the parade they got to taste food from their country. I learned how to make Bread Pudding and a New Zealand kiwi/papaya salad for the event.

Above: Before the parade…the classes were all getting lined up.
