      Precious moment! May they always remain close to each other and be reminded every day that it's God in their family unit that got them to the White House and their Faith in Him that will carry them through. We're praying for you all.

      Thanks for the completely unnecessary preacher comment Sonja_Za. I think it was the PEOPLE that put them in the Whitehouse rather than a god.

      What I love about this photo is how everyone else around them is smiling too. Just by being themselves, they are positively affecting the people around them.
