The But's Family

Daddy and Mumi live with Grandpa and Grandma. Auntie Katherine is close to Grandma and often drops by to visit her. With Auntie Katherine included, there are seven persons in the But's family, each with their own distinct personality and preferences. Like most typical families, the Buts always stick together come what may, leading an ordinary but happy family life.
