“Families are like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.” — Unknown

During this winter break, we spent nearly two weeks visiting extended family in the Washington metropolitan area. Due to the ongoing global pandemic, we could not see them last year.

We spent a wonderful week with them this past summer, but we haven’t met them during the Christmas holidays for several years.

We are grateful to our extended family for their warm hospitality and efforts to ensure that we had a fantastic time from the beginning to the end of our trip. During our visits, they always give us royal treatment.

Amazing Hosts

My mother eagerly anticipates our visits and always goes out of her way to prepare our favorite dishes.

Mom also stocks up her fridge with our favorite food and drink. She truly creates an environment that welcomes us, makes us feel comfortable, and allows us to enjoy the experience of being in her home.
