The Symes family Christmas

This year was extra special for me after the stresses of term time, and the two week break was sorely needed.

Christmas day was a quiet family affair, with church (yes, I actually volunteered to go!),

 lots and lots of beautiful presents,

the huuuuugest christmas dinner known to man,

 and some good old scrabble!

We also saw in the new year with a few days in Norfolk (yes, with the gale force winds!) which were absolutely lovely despite the weather. We visited many a beach over those few days and did lots of walking!

Well, this one was more of a local dock...

Someone built us a hut in preparation!

The only place of shelter...

The family time continued when we went to an MK Lightning ice hockey game. The second ice hockey game I have been to, and even though we lost, it was fantastic!

There were a few skirmishes...

Pucky, the mascot, did a song and dance in the breaks between periods.
