While all three of their kids, including sons Michael and Joaquin, have been living away from home for over a year now, this year saw a big change for Lola.

While the 21-year-old could potentially be home just as always for the holiday and the family celebration could go as always, chances are that due to having gone so recently, it would be harder for her to make the trip for just the long weekend.

Usually, the family of five, including husband Mark Consuelos, comes together for a festive time, often including friends and other relatives.
