Hi Shelley!

I have attached a couple to this email and will send more when I get to the computer. Feel free to use any and all of them. It was honestly the most magnificent holiday we have ever had! Also, we have already passed your information on! We were beyond impressed, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Warm wishes.
