Melissa Gorga is opening up about her family’s special holiday traditions. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member recently took to Instagram to share a peek into her annual “Christmas weekend” with her two sisters and their cousins.

On December 12, Melissa shared a gorgeous snapshot from their family weekend on Instagram. In the heartwarming photo, the mom of three can be seen posing on a rooftop in front of the Manhattan skyline alongside her two sisters, Lysa Marco-Simpson and Kim Marco Pirella, and three of their cousins.

“MY family is all about family. 5th annual cousins Christmas weekend,” Melissa wrote in the caption of the cute photo, also adding a red heart and Christmas tree emoji.

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Tamra Judge couldn’t help but remark on the sweet picture. “Beautiful family,” she wrote in the comments.

Aside from ringing in the holiday season together, Melissa and her family have had plenty of reasons to celebrate in recent weeks. Earlier this month, she feted her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice’s engagement to Luis “Louie” Ruelas, sharing several snapshots from inside the party with her husband, Joe Gorga, and their daughter, Antonia.

In September, Melissa also took to Instagram to commemorate her eldest son Gino’s 14th birthday.

“Happy Birthday to my handsome Gino. You’re a shy, go getting beast!” she captioned a series of photos and videos. “You go harder than anyone in this family. You make us all look lazy. I’m so proud of the human you are, the gentlemen you are and the athlete you are.”
