Maiden Voyage!

Martha was eager to take her new bike out on the road and didn't let the weather get in the way.  The snow had melted so she could now see the road and she donned waterproof trousers and coat and her wellies and she was ready to go!

She was a little nervous about the size of the bike so daddy removed the back reflector to allow the seat to go down another inch and let her toes touch the ground.  So with a little support at the beginning she was away.

She did a great job, even managed to turn around and ride back home without stopping or falling off.

Fantastic Day

Three very surprised children as we managed to keep their presents a secret this year.

Before

After!!!!!!!

She did so well all day, but the cold got the better of her in the end and she went to bed dosed up with medicine.

Snow Angel

Martha has really enjoyed playing out in the snow.  She asked if she could make a snow angel yesterday but she was ready for school so I said no.  She made some lovely ones today instead.  They don't show up very well on a photo and I thought you'd rather see her anyway.

Snowy Days

I love the snow.......when I don't have to go anywhere or do anything!!!  The Christmas shopping is done, we have food and football was cancelled.

We have spent a lovely day at home today, we went for a winter walk before a big brunch, lunch thing.  We have no church tomorrow so another day of not having to worry about driving conditions or going out in the cold.

Some heating would be nice....the plumber is on the way!

Stake Youth Calendar

January

We had great fun at Swansea chapel on Friday night.  We made a calendar for our missionaries.  Each unit brought in props for a month or two and we let the youth "do their thing!"  I can't wait to see the finished result, it looked great on the preview.  I will add some more shots over the next few days.  These two are of our youth from Aberystwyth Branch
