What a great post. I need to post about ours. Looks like you all had a wonderful time - How did you get the morning prayer picture - looks like you are in the picture? I love the picture of of all the families. Your boys all look so happy. What's the deal with Arie looking so unhappy? Janice's kids look like her. How wonderful you were able to spend time this Janice and John and their kids. Looks like you guys were super busy over the Christmas holiday.
