When they're all together in the house or entertaining friends, Donnie says they tend to all flock to one particular room. "This is the spot where everyone gathers," he said about the impressive kitchen with a huge island and succession of high-top stools.

"This isn’t an extravagant home," Donnie explained. "But there is no greater symbol of our love for each other than this house and how much love has gone into it."
