Their Families
Their families are an essential part of their lives. They live in a small town, where everyone knows each other. Their parents, who are both teachers, always encourage them to do well in school. They have two brothers and one sister, making their household lively and fun.
Every Sunday, they visit their grandparents, who live just a few blocks away. Their grandparents love to tell stories from their youth and share family traditions. During holidays, their family gets together for big meals, where everyone contributes a dish. Their aunt and uncle often join them with their children, so there are always plenty of cousins to play with.
They value their family time, whether it’s playing games, going on trips, or simply watching movies together. Their family may be large, but it is filled with love and support, making every moment special.
