It's just one excuse to party after the next.
- 31st New Year's Eve party (saying goodbye to 2007)
- 1st of Jan party (celebrating the first night of 2008)
- 7th Russian Christmas
- 13th Old New Year's party
We intend celebrating New Year's in a quaint little village two hours outside of Vlad. There is quite a group of us going: Sasha, Marianne, Oleg, Olya, Nas, myself and, of course, the two ring ins all the way from Australia, my sister Kate and Dan. (I cannot wait for the 28th, when I'll pick them up from the airport.) All couples will be lodged in Marianne's parent's cottage, and now that the banya has been competed, we are expecting to do a lot of saunering.
The New Year's Eve preparations are pretty serious. Marianne and Olya have already organised games and entertainment for the evening, and I have been told that I must wear something yellow to seethe New Year in. Something to do with next year being the year of the rat. So today we spent 3 hours shopping for Anastasia's yellow outfit. Fun, Fun, Fun!
Guess what we didn't find anything!

How very clever of Kate and Dan to arrive just in time for the New Year preparations. I think its wonderful that you will have some of your family with you to see the new year in. Can't wait to see the photos. Wishing you all Happy Holidays and more adventures in the New Year.
Thanks Krystyna,
Don't worry there will be plenty of photos on their way. I hope Jeff, Julian and yourself have a very Merry Christmas and I look forward to hearing from you in 2008.
