My Family!!!

My family is really big. My grandma had 7 kids, so you can only imagine how big my family is. She had 6 girls and 1 boy.

 I don't know much about my family history. But what I do know is allot of my family is from El Paso or Mexico. My family does have a specific event. That event is every Thanksgiving all of my Tias and Tios come down to El Paso and we all meet up at my grandma’s house. My Tias and Tios come from California Austin and New Mexico. Once everyone is together we all start cooking. The kitchen gets really crowded. But it doesn’t matter! The best part is you hear laughter, everyone catching up with one another, kids running, playing, and laughter. You can never get tired of hearing those noises; it’s a little something that I look forward to every year.

My family is like any other we have problems... Which family doesn't? But at the same time my family is real close. We may be far apart but in our hearts were always together. Like take me and my cousins for example, we are real close I would always be with them any chance I got. But I moved here to New Mexico. It was really hard for me I didn't have no one over here. But we talk every night so it’s like were still together we just don't see each other like we used to.

As you noticed I didn't mention my Grandpa. Well I don’t have one, I did but he passed away before any of the grandkids met him. None of my cousins knew who he was. We know his name, the little things about him. I do know that he was in the military. My Grandpa and Grandma were 10 years apart. My grandma had her first child at 15 years old. It was hard but they did it. My grandma is a very hard worker till this day she still works real hard to help everyone out as much as she can.

Well this essay tells you a little about my family.
