Photo Friday: Happy New Year

 Happy New Year! One of my goals for this year is to work on digitizing the photo collections that I've inherited. I have too many to post them all here, but I hope to motivate myself by posting one each Friday. My problem won't be finding a photo to post; I have thousands! My problem will be deciding which photo to post! That said, this one seemed pretty easy. With the new year, I am posting a photo of a holiday celebration.

I'm not sure exactly when this photo was taken. I do know where it was taken—at my parents' house in Alton, Illinois. I always thought this was a New Years Eve photo. But when I digitized the photo, my mother labeled it as Christmas 1954. Either way, it is a picture of my aunt and uncle with my cousin, Nancy. Nancy was a New Year's baby—the first baby born in the area in the year 1945. It seems appropriate to start my Photo Friday series off with a photo of her.
