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.
