Robert Burns Supper

So Robert Burns is a really big thing here.
Here is what wikipedia.org has to say about him....
Scotland's favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as simply The Bard^[1][2]) was a Scottish poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a "light" Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.

Every year on his birthday which is the 25th of January they have a Burns Supper. Our church even has one. Everyone wears their Tartan and they have a really nice meal which consists of Haggis, Neeps & Tatties (Mince sometimes).
What is Haggis you ask? DO you really want to know ? I don't think you do, but I will share...
Here is what wikipedia says about Haggis...
Haggis is a dish containing sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.
Are you glad I told you ?
So at this Burns Supper they have the Haggis and they have a pipesman come and pipe in the haggis. The chef holds the Haggis on a plate up above him and he marches it in. After it is set down there is a special person who comes and "addresses" the Haggis. We couldn't understand many words this woman said. I think we caught "Haggis" "Heed" and "Knife" use a Scottish accent when saying those words please. Otherwise it won't make sense.

My new friend Emily and I went together because Alex got really sick so we had to cancel on our sitter who was going to watch our kids, their son and then our other friend's grandson. It was a big bummer because we were all looking forward to it. Alex was sick for a good 3 or 4 days and it wasn't fun.
