Our Family

 

                                                           

              A family consists of a father,     a mother,  and their children living in the same house.  

This family is called a small and neutral family. Father and mother are called parents and children are siblings

to each other.   

               In some families, there are grandparents too.

Grandparents are the father and mother of our parents.

Paternal grandparents are parents of dad and maternal grandparents are parents of our mom.   

 We also have uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Uncle and aunt are the siblings of our parents and their children are cousins to us.

     

They are called our relatives.

A family is very important to all of us.

We share good and bad moments with them.

We invite them on every occasion like festivals and birthday celebrations.

   

 We love our family.
