This isn't so bad for a first. I'm not a great animator myself, so I don't really have any expert advice for you, sorry.

But, I do have one great resource every animator should have. It's called The Animators Survival Kit, by Richard Williams.

This is a must read for anyone looking to seriously delve into animation. Good luck friend, and have fun!

Also, check out this dude. He's got a series of great flash tutorials if you're not sure what to do.

And Drawing With Jazza is pretty damn useful.

You have got potential kid. If this is truly your first animation then you have a good future.

Pros
Simple Art Style
Nice Music
Like the Weirdness

Cons
No way to seek the video kinda like this http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/615173
Slow Pace
No hair animation.
Art Style needs improvement especially for houses.
