Mi familia

En mi familia, hay mi padre, mi madre y mi hermano.

15 years ago, when John and I were studying Spanish in Colombia, this was one of the basic sentences I practiced in conversation with our tutor, Ingrid.

Today, this sentence would sound more like:  En nuestra familia, hay mi esposo y nuestros hijos.  Además, hay nuestros padres, nuestros hermanos y hermanas en la ley y sobrinas y sobrinos.

And they were all at our house for an early Christmas this last weekend.  And it was grand.
