    His older sister, Sarah, was also there. She was always full of ideas for family activities, making every day an adventure.

    After dinner, they would often sing family songs, each person adding their own verse, making it a special tradition.

    Next, they decided to create a family photo album. They sorted photos by age, reminiscing about the good times.

    They also drew family portraits, with Sarah's drawing being the most detailed. Billy's was more abstract, but everyone loved it.

    Before bed, they role-played different family members. Billy played Dad and Sarah played Mom, their impersonations causing giggles.

    Their parents kissed them goodnight, promising more fun the next day. The children drifted off to sleep, dreaming of new adventures.
