Happy New Year Everybody. We took pictures today. I can't really call them family pictures because Philip and Megan and Brittany and Ethan weren't here (and my parents didn't get in on the fun), but you all might like to see them anyway.

My parents don't use their fireplace. We had to spend some time cleaning stuff away from the front of it, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, etc before we could take the pictures. We also had to move both couches out of the way. Unfortunately we moved the couches after we moved everything from the front of the fireplace onto the couches :(. BUT in the end I think the pictures turned out great.
