7th December: Not Exactly as Planned...

...But it has created some very magical moments, all the same!

One: Our first dusting of snow this season. We seem to just be on the edge of it, but fingers crossed there's more on its way.

Two: Daddy and Mummy returned safely after last night's performance of the Nativity by Auri and her fellow nursery members.

Three: There is a real excitement about travelling and travellers at this time of the year! Of course, no one was on the platform in the wintry weather, but they arrived a little later. I've spent quite a bit of time at the station today as Judith had to head down to Inverness and babysit due to Moment Seven!!!

Four: Sales of our latest ghost story anthology are climbing. It's so exciting to know that our book is heading out across the world, and I can't wait to hear what readers thought of it!

Five: I began wrapping presents today. So far, I've wrapped three, so still a way to go. But at least it's a step in the right direction!

Six: A video message from little Auri to tell her Granny and Granddad (Mum and Dad!) that it was snowing at her house. She is one cute rascal!

Seven: And by no means least (in fact, it's more a case of: save the best until last!), we're about to become aunties for the third time! Baby Pip is making her appearance! Our sister's waters broke this morning and we're now excitedly and anxiously waiting for that phone call!
