2014 is coming to a close, and that means it's time to look back at the year on the White House Tumblr.

We use Tumblr because we're always looking for new ways to engage with the American people, and one of the best -- and most fun -- ways we've found to engage on Tumblr itself is through making GIFs.
That's why, to recap our year on Tumblr, we tallied up the number of notes -- the Tumblr equivalent of "likes" -- on each of the GIFs we created in 2014. Here, in order, are the top 10 GIF moments on our Tumblr this year, decided by the Tumblr users themselves:
10. When the President issued "The Decree" on The Colbert Report.
9. When we saw the danger posed by climate change.
8. When we pledged to be part of the solution.
7. When the First Lady dunked on LeBron to support healthy eating.
6. When the President gave advice to Republicans in Congress.
5. When President Obama urged the FCC to protect net neutrality.
4. When the President addressed the nation on the actions he's taking to help fix our broken immigration system.
3. When David Karp, the founder of Tumblr, fist-bumped President Obama.
2. When the President told us he'd work with anyone -- Democrat or Republican -- to get things done.
1. And finally, when Tumblr prepared to ask the President questions on student loans.
