For the first time in 31 years
we had no children at home to wake us

We missed them a lot. However, Sierra, Jamie, and Matt were with the Perez Family in Florida and having the time of their lives! And went to Universal Studios and visited Hogwarts
and Hogsmeade
The Sorting Hat
and
Butterbeer!
(love this face, too!)
With time in Florida over, sad Daisy doggie eyes, sad Si Si eyes
So, like the very first Christmas, we went in search of a child
Thank you, Cheri and Bruce, for your hospitality!
With the flu making its rounds, all the family ended up having a blessed holiday season.
