His brother, Marcel d'Anella, did not come to America. My mother went to France to visit him when she was in college. My family celebrates the holidays by going to our grandparents' house. Sometimes we go to my mom's parents' house and sometimes we go to my father's house. At Christmas we all sit around the tree and take pictures while we are opening presents.
Birthday parties are always really great.
We have skating parties and bowling parties and after my family always comes to my house. The grownups sit around and talk and my cousins and I play. On special occasions like Communions and Christenings we go to church and take lots of pictures. My family is very large so we usually go to a restaurant or a hall to have a party. I have traveled to Pennsylvania a lot because my family lives there.
