David & Gwen Schwieder Family: Harry Potter and company

Harry Potter and company

Last night we had a gathering of witches and wizards

join us for a Harry Potter Party. Wizard Elden joined us before he went to bed.

Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, and Minerva McGonagall joined us. We played games and ate wizard food. Here we have cookie wands, Bertie Botts every flavor bean, and Cauldron Cakes.

We thought Harry Potter was extremely lucky since he won everything, but then we found out he was charming the cards with his wand. Why didn't the rest of us think of that.

Then they all got ready to go to the midnight showing of the last Harry Potter movie. Left to Right: Harry Potter (Todd), Tonks (Bethany), Professor McGonagall (Shanalee), and two Gryfindor students (Josh and Samantha)

The faces of Harry Potter - I wonder what he's thinking about?

Harry Potter and Tonks? Something seems all wrong here!

David and I have been happily married for 39 years. We have the 6 best kids in the world who have turned out to be quite exceptional adults despite having us for parents. And to make it even better, these 6 exceptional kids have married 6 exceptional spouses. Thus it stands to reason that our grandchildren are also exceptional. (I am really not prejudice, this is all true) David and I love life, each other, and the Lord. We are currently serving a mission in Taichung Taiwan and loving it. We miss our 21 grandkids but trust their parents to do a fine job rearing them without us there to help.

We are so grateful to all those wonderful people who have been important in our lives and had such positive influence on us and our children. Thank you.
