Cuz

She's a cutie. Can't wait to juggle bridesmaid duties with photographer duties later this year!

Later that night... Cuz and her clan headed off home, and we enlisted the Russian contingent to translate New Year's speeches from the Kremlin preceding Russian New Year on the telly at 9pm. The eldest then had a freak-out about the fact that we were all saying it was a new year and he hadn't yet been to sleep. He was worried that he wouldn't get to sleep at all if a new day had started. We reassured him that midnight doesn't mean it's time to get up, and that also being midnight in Russia means that it's only actually 9pm here, which seemed to chill him out enough to settle down and go to sleep. Poor soul - it's all very confusing! Once Boo and Bash were both sleeping soundly we moved on to the uk countdown. Family games on one room which I retreated to sketch molecular insulin diagrams in another, just for fun. A happy new year's celebration all round.
