Mayor Finch said it was his 8-year-old son who came up with the idea to persuade the president to pose for a picture with the whole family. The president agreed.
"It's one of those special times. It only lasted a minute or so because you get ushered through, but it was a precious minute for these kids and I know it's a moment they'll never forget and they're treasure the photograph," Finch said.
Mayor Finch said everyone in the family agreed the best way to share it was to convert the photo into a holiday card which delivers greetings to everyone in the mayor's family-- and President Obama.
