I've decided to do the photo a day challenge with Flikr again this year. I had just gotten my camera this time last year, so was full of ambition and motivation - however that started to wane towards the end of the month and I think I missed the last few days.

Basically, you just take a photo everyday in January and upload it to flikr for comments/critic. I'm going to try very hard this year to get away from just normal pics of the kids, it's very hard though when they are so darn cute and Grace is always such a willing model. I'm also booking into a photography lesson here on the 13th January, so hopefully after that I'll be shooting like a pro. Or not.

Anyway, I'll give it a go and hopefully be able to keep up.

So this is some of the empties from our big NYE party at the Truets. Duane, the kids and I all stayed over, which was probably a good idea considering we didn't end up going to bed until after 2.30am. Poor Duane had to work at 4am, so only got 1 hour sleep. Lucky it was only for 4 hours, so he came back for breakfast, another sleep and then a swim in the pool.

It was a great night. Lots of yummy food (tomorrow, I promise I will start back on WW!), lots of yummy alcohol (first NY in 4 years that I could drink!) and lots of laughter. I tried really, really hard to get drunk, or even just a little buzzed, but after 4 of Loic's special white rum concoctions and 3 glasses of the above champagne - Nothing.

It was still a fantastic night, that ended at midnight with Astra, Loic, Duane and I jumping into the (freezing) pool and enjoying some tipsy talk, whilst being watched by the sober members of the party.
