Aria Family
"Aria" is Latin for "melody; a light, playful, and romantic ballad."
The family, previously called the Hot Chocolate Mamas came from two earlier families merging:
The Chocolate Roses and the Hot Mamas. Since the two families were so small on their own,
Chocolate Rose, Elizabeth Howell and Hot Mama, Abigail Thomas decided
to combine forces and grow the family line that they are today!
