Our Family, Our Team
In a cozy house with a red door, you’ll find my close-knit family. Every morning, my mother and father share smiles as they make breakfast. I help by setting the table, while my little brother, who’s the youngest child, tries to help too.
On Sundays, our home gets even fuller. That’s when grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins visit. My grandmother always brings her famous apple pie, and my grandfather plays his harmonica. We dance, we sing, and we play games. It’s noisy, it’s fun, and it’s full of love.
Our family may not be very large, but our hearts are. We stick together, care for each other, and share every moment — big or small. That’s what makes us a close-knit family.
