    I love the idea of “new to us” rather than “brand new” – that will be my focus for 2016 as well. And I like how you treasure memories by creating photo albums. That used to be something dad and I would do every year and then we stopped. In 2016 I want to start again. I hope you have a fantastic year of 2016!
