Happy New Year everyone!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  I made many Christmas cookies this year but was lazy and didn't post them.  I could post them now, but I'm going to just start with a clean slate. 

For the New Year, Kyle's parents and I traveled to Pasadena California to see the Rose Bowl Parade.  It was the first time seeing the parade in person for all of us.  We had a good time, but you can see more watching it at home.  Kyle and I were super excited because the theme was "Find Your Adventure".  The National Park Service is celebrating its 100th Birthday this year.  Kyle and I were disappointed that the National Parks were not represented more on the floats. 

Here are some of the pictures I took of the floats.  I only had a macro lens on my camera, so it was hard to get pictures of the whole float.  The post-parade float viewing opened an hour late and the lighting was difficult.
