"What is that smell?" My Aunt Sophie's voice echoed into the dining room as our parents walked in.
Uncle H sniffed the air. "Smells like..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Uncle T piped in. "Holy tacos!"
"Not holy tacos, just tacos," I joked. We all chuckled and greeted them.
"Well, damn guys, this is the greatest welcome home," My dad gave me a big hug.

Uncle H spoke up. "So, you guys just missed us that much, huh?"
"Yes, we were sobbing all weekend," Luke's words were laced heavily with sarcasm, making us laugh.
"Smart-aleck," Uncle T said.
"We wanted to surprise you guys," Lily explained.
"Yeah, and I even chopped the tomatoes," Ryder lifted his chin, smiling proudly.
My dad's brows raised. "You all got Ryder to join in? I'm impressed."
I giggled at his comment while Ryder rolled his eyes with a smile. "So, how was the weekend?" I asked.
