Happy New Year

We had a lovely time at the fireworks on New Years Eve - a while ago now, of course.  The City of Sydney lights up twice with fireworks to celebrate and we all went to watch the family fireworks at 9pm. 

Both Alice and Juliet were brilliantly behaved - Alice had had a nap to ensure she could cope and Juliet unusually wouldn't go to sleep, but fed contentedly during the big bangs.   We had to park about a mile away so the four of us eventually got home just in time to see the midnight fireworks on the telly.  The grandparents rang in the new year by the harbourside.

I didn't really get any photos - the fireworks were great but I was feeding/ covering self up as an old nemesis of a student from my old job turned up to say hello at the crucial latching on moment.

So here are the girls enjoying their picnic and Nanna and Grandad baggsing their place at the front in a slightly germanic manner.

If you look between Alice and the fat bloke you can see the view we had of the bridge.  Perfect.

It was unexpectedly sunny, hence the baby bride sheltering from the elements.

And some amazing fireworks footage for the interested:

Belated Happy New Year!
