Today was my Dad's Birthday! We also celebrated an early Mother's Day today with both my parents and my in-laws since my husband and I will be on vacation for the official Mother's Day.

After a busy day of continuing to dig out our cars and shovel the driveway, we ended our day by watching the big Superbowl game in HD with a nice fire to warm us up. Nothing like the comforts of home! And congrats to the new Superbowl champs, the New Orleans Saints!

I didn't want to use a flash, and of course there was no tripod, but my camera wanted to set the exposure levels at 1/2sec, so most of my images turned out blurry. Any tips or suggestions that I should have tried?
