Family Photos - Dec. 2021

It is very rare that the whole family is together, and we felt that this year especially we needed family photos to happen. Laura Clark (D&L Photography) courageously took the challenge of shooting all 22 of us, and she did a great job! The Stetlers were very kind to share their room with us for the photo location.
