It was such a wonderful trip for all of us; we are so thankful for fun friends and last-minute surprises!

Don't worry, better pictures are on the way. And no we did not actually wake our child up; we simply sang carols outside his bedroom door until he awoke.

Shannon and I were cracking up at this picture because it looks like Henry and Libby are themselves the parents of two kids, and they were just trying to get a good family shot for Christmas:

This picture was taken right before Libby's (and Henry's) big school holiday performance.
