My amazing sister-in-law, Rachelle, took these photos for us while we were away in Virginia for Christmas.  It was even more meaningful to me because she had been sick in bed that day with the stomach bug–but she insisted on getting out of bed because she had promised to take the pictures while we were there–and it was our last day.   So she got out of bed for a little bit, snapped away for ten minutes, and then ran back inside to lay back down again.  What a woman.  I will be forever thankful. . . because I love the pictures.  And I’ve already ordered four super large images to hang up on our new living room walls.  They are in the mail right now 🙂
