It is that time again. I know you're thinking, "time for him to ramble on about nothing before I look at the pictures again" but that isn't what I meant. I meant it is time for new year's resolutions! And since it is such a nuisance, I thought I would help you out by coming up with a list for you to choose from...
First off, let's get the bogus ones out of the way...
1) exercise more! Ppfftt! if you already exercise, you'll keep doing it anyway and if you don't, you probably won't start just because it is January 1st...
2) eat better! What a crock! you know you're going to keep eating the same junk you've been eating for the last umpteen years... why beat yourself up over it?
So instead, how about...
3) Set a new record! It doesn't have to be an impressive record... just do something you haven't done before...
4) Pamper yourself! You know you deserve it... do something nice for yourself (not like anyone else in your family is going to do it for you :-) )
5) Help others! You probably also know someone who needs something more than you do... Help them out.
Anyway. Welcome to 2017.
 Hanging out at the Light Parade with my homies! (Friends know some of your embarrassing moments... Homies are next to you making them...) |
 Dad thought these were some of the best vehicles in the Light Parade... watch out for the cops! |
 I took this picture... Dad made it black and white... |
 Remember that first comment about my homies? Amelie thought she would recreate that moment from a Christmas Story... |
 We got some really early snow this year. It really wasn't much, but it shut down school... |
 Look, Ma! No hands! Or feet for that matter... but really Mom already knew that since she took the picture... |
 The next time it snowed we got a little more... I don't know what that has to do with this guy! |
 But I got to play in the snow with Aven and Amelie. |
 You can see it was a pretty snow storm though we still didn't get that much snow. |
 So Quinn took us out to find some more... OK, Quinn can't drive so technically she didn't take us... |
 On our little hill you could understand people running into each other, but out here? |
 There isn't any explanation for this... I'm just QotD! |
 We got the house decorated for Christmas... |
 That's pretty much it for Christmas... texting first thing Christmas morning... |
 I asked Santa for a few stuffed animals to add to Harry's donation to the Childrens' Hospital... |
 Dad just had to play with the remote on camera so we could all be in at least one Christmas picture... |
 Just a few of the opening Christmas presents pictures this year... |
 I think the microbus looks superimposed... what do you think? (I actually got it for Christmas and I am really holding it...) |
 I think this is hilarious (put this thing in your mouth and try to say "Franks & Beans for Fiery Folks") but Dad says I'll regret it one day... |
 We a had a few friends over for New Year's Eve :-)! Really, this is from 12/30 when we went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra! |
