The term "extended family" refers to relatives beyond your immediate family, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It may also refer to relatives who live together or play an active role in each other’s lives.
For example:
Her extended family lives all over the country, but they stay in touch online.
We had a big party and invited our entire extended family.
He moved back home so his extended family could help look after the kids.
