Married since 1968, Carol and Sal hail from the Eagle Hill section of East Boston. For 53 years they have been tormenting their 4 adoring children in a variety of ways - but, that has made us who we are today (and that is one big happy family)! Sal was a Marine who worked on deciphering codes during the Vietnam War. He is a "Mr. Fixit" who has dabbled in carpentry, vintage cars, copper sculpture, stained glass, and lasers. Carol is a former computer programmer and real estate agent. She designs and produces intricate beaded jewelry at her studio, Bella Stella Beads.

Andrew: a movie buff, competitive volleyball player, and lover of games (except head games and those with nonsensical rules). Derek: a music buff who loves games and collectibles - especially those related to toys and pop culture. Andrew's the cashew guy; Derek's the almond guy. Both are proud graduates of UMass Lowell and love Marvel/DC Comics and most sports. And, how cool is it that Andrew was born on October 3 (10/3) and Derek was born on March 10 (3/10)?! Andrew is a project manager with a commercial drywall company and Derek works in IT at Partners Healthcare. Here, the brothers and best friends (and Mark's pride and joy!) are standing in front of Sean's Bar - Ireland's oldest pub.

Dina and Jenny met 33 years ago when they were matched by the Big Sister Little Sister organization. The duo was an instant hit and their friendship remains as strong as ever. Jenny graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and launched her own business as a graphic designer. She is Dina's oldest friend, and one of the most kind, accepting, and effervescent people you could ever hope to meet.

Uncle Bob. The man. The legend. "UB" is the guy on the left. He's Dina's mom's only sibling. A former computer engineer, UB now spends his days following college and pro sports, investigating every nook and cranny of Greater Boston (eateries, museums, live music, etc.) and helping friends and family with home projects.

David is the youngest of Sal and Carol's kids. By day, he works in IT. By night he's a crypto-trading disc golfer who plays a mean game of poker and is a very competitive board and video game player. He is proud papa to Cat, a rescue dog named after Game of Thrones character Catelyn Stark. He is insanely sarcastic and extremely smart (yes, he knows) and also an all around good guy.

A spitfire with an outrageous amount of artistic talent, Andrea and her husband Steve occupy a historic home in Atkinson, NH along with an ancient cat, a snarky bird, and a rabbit named"Butt Nugget". She is an equestrian, a world traveler, and an avid reader and painter of Warhammer miniatures and, at the end of each day, she still has more energy than a gaggle of toddlers.

Joanna is the matriarch of her family, which includes 28-year-old Elise and 22-year-old Sam. As a middle child, she's a peacekeeper - but, make no mistake, she's a captain and contender in all areas if life. Her job as a senior vice president at a regional bank leaves her little free time, which she spends often traveling around the world. Here, she is walking a trail in Angra do Heroismo, a city in the Portuguese region of the Azores.
