In Search Of Snow

Most of the UK has been covered in snow this weekend, but not Newton Abbot! On Saturday we decided to go to the snow, and a ten minute drive to Dartmoor found us revelling in the white stuff. The famous Dartmoor mist was also upon us so it was truly a white wonderland! Ben took the wheels off his skateboard and found some hills to slide down:
Rosie was cold and her face looked mostly like this:
The moors are so pretty when it snows:
Noah:
Have you ever had a snowy love heart made for you? Well, I have thanks to Ethan:

Getting Back To 'Normal'

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone so quickly, and that we're all back to school and work already! We had a lovely, relaxing Christmas break, the photos are a little late thanks to blogger having issues with uploading pictures. I've found a way around the problem so enjoy a little catch up:
I've been thinking about all the things we've done this last year and I thought I'd round up my memories, starting with 'Events of 2012':
- My niece Lilly, born 29th February.
- Me and Jay reunited after four years apart. (Missing her too much again now!)
- Another niece Isobel, born 2nd May.
- Ben completed the Ten Tors 35 Miles challenge.
- We loved watching the London Olympics, and it was fun to see how London dressed herself up for it.
- Noah was baptised!

Here are my six favourite Instagrams of 2012:
The photos were taken in Cardiff, Dartmoor, Kingsteignton, Portland, Dawlish, and Dartmoor again. It made me chuckle that they were all pictures of the great outdoors!

Concerts of 2012:
- Coldplay
- Katie Herzig
- The Killers
- Butterfly Boucher (with Katie Herzig)
- Ben Howard
- Imagine Dragons

Thank you 2012, you weren't always great, but we had a lot of fun regardless!
