From the Highlands of Scotland where a run affords you views like this, the Stevens family wish you all lots of smiles in 2016. And tomorrow I'll reveal my new blog for 2016. Watch this space!

A family present giving pile up (minus the one watching the CBeebies pantomime for the fourth time this afternoon)

Running in the park this afternoon. Starting to lose the 'hard work' feeling that you get when you've been ill and enjoyed it, even running up the hill from Boldmere to the ice cream van and the very steep stretch up to the Bistro.
In other news, Jude played trumpet at church and was brilliant. Also at church, Donald skilfully rolled worry pebbles to by our feet whilst we were singing/playing and amused Jude by rolling it straight into the spit puddle from his trumpet; appropriate I think!

Christmas pudding alight!
Teleconference at a service station, a cracker-delivered whistle orchestra, the hunt for Christmas jumpers, cake eating and wrapping part 2. Time with the in-laws is always amusing: hunt the remote control was today's task. It was found in the basket by the chair of the person who was searching for it! 'That's where I keep it!'
Indeed... ;)

Shopping.
Lovely run before it rained. Quite fast too :)
Although the shop we wanted to visit was shut, it gave us a good excuse to have a seasonal coffee.
And I've finished my Christmas shopping!

Another item on my 'to do' list done, and another area of my 'office' tidied.
Nativity 2 made me smile.
The boys made me laugh.
I answered several questions correctly whilst watching University Challenge.
I've nearly finished my Christmas shopping.
And Jude shared this again!

An absolutely awesome carol service - in the true sense of the word awesome. The music was magnificent and at times I found it hard to contain myself. And we got to do it all twice!

The joy at seeing packs of Guarana Antarctica can never be underestimated!
The Bridge finale! Although I'd worked out who the killer was, I hadn't worked out why. And Saga - what a character! Broke my heart.

What a beautiful morning for a run!
Having run five miles I'd earned the end of term pizza lunch too!
Very grateful and relieved to have reached the end of term without major injury to myself or others!

Watching this filled me with great joy today - and reminded me of how mild it is this year!

And I LOVED singing Christmas carols with Shelagh at carol service rehearsal, especially with the amazing brass section!

Lots of peace to get some work done.
Getting "sorted out" by the lovely Emily.
Watching Guy Martin.
My family :)
Picture made a year ago and I'd say still accurate!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Love this time of year with the lights twinkling in the darkness!

A nearly felt human whilst running this morning.
I stayed calm when a digger decided to park across my drive.
And the Plantsbrook Christmas concert was excellent. Marvellous music stand decorating Jude and Alex! And you were right Noah ;)

TwinCR night out was fun albeit a rather late night that was extended by the search for tinsel for Jude.

Busy today with Options evening for Jude and then Parents' Evening for Isaac. Very proud of them both as their teachers all smiled when they saw them and had nothing but praise for their efforts and achievements.

Still feeling grotty but who can fail to smile at a meerkat screaming 'Gleb!' at SCD? Or a child who insists that Maltesers are thrown into his mouth as if he is performing seal?

A Christmas place setting. Odd to be at NCL at Christmas!
Today's Advent challenge from the Bible Society was to smile more. I tried and I think succeeded!

I am the proud mother of a grade 6 trumpet player!
I survived a day with a very croaky voice.

Enjoyed handing over Language Leader badges this afternoon. I also enjoyed marking my books whilst marvelling at the patience of one of the TAs!
The first day of The Bible Society Advent challenge saw me making cards for people I love - so the boys each got a little card with (one of the) reasons I love them. And that made me smile!
